You can see your external IP by visiting <http://www.dnsstuff.com/> -- scroll to the bottom of the page. Or if you have a router, it may have a config page that shows it, quite likely at http://#192#.168#.1#.1, but that's not guaranteed. (Delete the # from the previous; Maclaunch blocks numeric IPs apparently and bounced my first try.) On my ISP, I get a new IP every time I reconnect -- as I turn off the modem when I'm not around (it gets hot, and it just makes me a target even if the firewall bounces attacks). It also confuses sites that like to record my IP, which is good. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
