# ...that didn't work
that brought up the router IP 192.168... not my IP address
edit : that displays the 192.168 rubbish...

# ipchicken shows your 'real' internet address....
basically (in most cases) that will be the IP address that the WAN port of your firewall/router device was given by the DSL or CableModem.

In order to check if that is secure, you can go to https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 .

# true,
back when we were all on dialup, the winipcfg IP address was it.
In my former helpdesk slave life, my next question would be...
'what are you trying to do?'

# i know what im doing
its windows xp that doesn't know what its doing!
98 and ME used to have winipcfg.exe which displayed the IP that the internet used to see
ipconfig.exe does not have this function
This has been discussed above and has now been resolved
Thank you for your input
