Jack, to see my public IP, I point my web browser to my router (from inside my network i,e, from at home) and the router's own webserver (built-in to the macsense xrouter pro) tells me what it's public IP is (which it gets from my cable modem). make sense?
to configure my router, which is plugged into a cable modem, I point my web browser to 192.168.1.1 and after the initial set up of providing my cable corp DHCP client ID, every other time i look at it there's all the info I need. hope this helps. matx > > I like the idea of going to the router and finding out the IP address > from my provider, but the router reports a fake address sent to it > from the DSL modem (10.0.0.1). > > I think I need to get into my Cisco 675 modem and see what it says.
