The folks in the know suggested this as the appropriate list. I am not trying to obtain an ip address in order to access locally Tomcat, but to access Tomcat globally. Therefore, the local subnet address will not help. By a request object, I mean an http request object that I send to an outside computer and which, then, holds under request.getRemoteAddr()the ip address. However, this appears to be an alias ip address which resolves to a remote host that is the isp address preceeded by a series of hexadecimal numbers. Does that help?

!!! u r posting a question about networking, this is the wrong place to post !!!
but i will answer ur question anyway:
u r behind a router, think of a router as two pieces, a piece that talks to the outside world (the internet) and a piece that allows your internal network to communicate with itself, between these two pieces is a firewall
now, if ur on a pc network like me, the easiest way to figure out a computer's INTERNAL IP (because thats the ip u want) is to go to Start -> Run ... -> type: "cmd" then hit Enter -> type: "ping <computer-name>" then hit Enter this will reveal the computer's internal IP now, that piece on ur router that talks to the outside world u can consider it as a "computer" that has not only an internal IP but also an external one (the external IP is the one ur ISP assigns to u)
i dont know what u mean by "request object" and i dont know what program u r using to talk to each of the computers on ur local network, but u shouldn't have to go outside of ur router and then back in to talk to a computer that is local on ur network
Thanks,

I want to use my home computer for some development on Tomcat. I frequently use a laptop which is on a home combination wire and wireless router (one wireless and four wires). How can I find out the ip address of each machine in the the network? A call to the ip address of the laptop yields the subnet address 192.168.0.101, which, of course, is not the real
ip address. A determination by examining a request object sent from the laptop reveals an alias of some sort from the isp. So, somewhere in between is the real ip address of the laptop. How do I find that? Thanks.
