If you've got an IIS box handy, set up logging and have your client connect
to it. It'll pick up the IP address he's using to connect.

No, we didn't have telnet open to the world for that client so I could
not connect to it unless I was at the clients location. I didn't want to
walk a user thru telneting in for fear that they would make the
situation worse and have to then warrant a visit to there location.

Can you not telnet to the router and see what NAT Address is being
handed to the client?

Okay, I must not be explaining this simply enough. The client is using
NAT via a Speedstream router. I am not looking for the ip address of
there machine, I know how to do that. I wanted to find out what ip
address that they use to access external resources, meaning the address
that they use via NAT from the router to access websites, etc.
I couldn't use DNS & NSLookup to find out there ip address because the
ip address was dropped from there record pointing to there public
address. The only thing I could find a NSLookup was the address for
there website which is hosted elsewhere and would not help me in the
situation. I wound up using www-network-tools.com (thanks Bill) because
the ip address is shown on the first page. With GRC and shield-ups I
would have had to guide the user thru a series of pages just to find the
address.

That is not possible.
You could look about in there DNS server with Nslookup, and see what you
can find out about the domain.

Actually I do know what ip address I am using. I was trying to find out
what ip address a client was using. Somehow there DNS records got
screwed up and an A record for a certain host was dropped. So now they
aren't receiving mail because there mx record points to this name which
doesn't resolve to an ip address. Rather than go all the way to there
location just to find out there routers ip address, I wanted to have
them locate it so that I can get the record associated with an ip
address ASAP.

How do you not know what IP address you are using?
