When I do it, my router tells me my public IP address is 10.0.0.1. After talking to the telephone co, they tell me this is the IP address that the Cisco modem tosses back to my router.
But, it looks like I can get into the Cisco modem and get the real public IP address. I tried to telnet into the Cisco, but the linksys blocked me. I am going to plug directly into it and try. Also, I have a management port I can plug into on the Cisco, that will allow me to log into the modem and find the real public IP address.
