July 28, 200718 yr how? When you mentioned the Dragon Plates I had a sudden vision of a load of gangsters running around in fancy dress yealling "Grim Reaper in da hood!"
July 29, 200718 yr The above would work, but it depends what IP address you're after. If you are connected to the net via a router, that website will give you the address of the router, not your PC. If you want to know your PCs IP address, do the following: Click START In the run box type cmd /k ipconfig /all press Enter [Assist-X]

No it wont. I am behind a router and I get my computer's ip. When I do that command I only get my computer's internal ip address.

When go to that website I get my routers IP address and not my PCs address. Even my personal site at work gives me the same result. I get my static IP address and not the address for this PC. Edit: Is your router NAT based, if it is (like mine is) then your internal IP address will not be sent, and the environment variable $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] will only be able to detect the routers IP.

July 29, 200718 yr Um... You're all right. You're just making it way too awkward. http://whatsmyip.org/ gives you your external IP address. Ie. The modem (or router) that's connected straight to the internet. Typing in ipconfig /all gives your internal IP address(es). The crap you'd want for setting up a network. More than likely the first poster will want his external IP for whatever reason. The reason websites give you the external address, is because it's the first thing they come to. I can't imagine it being a good idea if a website could just sorta poke past your modem and start looking around inside your network. Notoriously Trollish.
