Obviously you don't understand NAT. Just consider the IP address your computer is reporting as the real IP address of the computer. It is unreachable from the Internet under normal circumstances, so your router is using NAT in order to foreward packets from your system (i.e. request objects) and to figure out where to send responses. The "alias" looking IP address you see coming from the laptop is not put there by your ISP, it is put there by your router as part of NAT. If you want to reach your laptop from outside of your home network, you are going to have to resort to port forwarding -> refer to the documentation for your router for how to set that up via the router's admin interface. It is also dependant on your ISP allowing incoming connection requests, many do not. Oops. I just noticed this is the tomcat users list, so the advice I'll give you ends here as it is inappropriate for this list. Use Google to look up NAT protocol, or join an appropriate list in order to get more information about NAT devices. Also read the documentation for your router.
