that's really sad. in os 9 or before it's right in the tcp/ip control panel. right now i'm at
4.228.192.131. i don't use my "best" machine online, especially since i'm still on dialup, sigh.
i'm definitely headed for broad band and a real firewall! any one with a configurable
router/firewall really should read the manual, and make sure to change the default password, many of
these boxes are painfully easy to hack if you don't (allowing traffic to be echoed anywhere etc.).
Yes, the computer's IP address is available in OS 9 or X. But the Router IP address to the outside world is not. This has been said here a couple of times.

So your PC or Mac believes it's something like 192.168.x.y, you have to interrogate the router or a server on the web (as above) to see what your current Internet IP address is.
