I wonder how these utilities work?
If they query the router, the router would have to support
that type of query. I doubt it would work on *my* system 
since I'm doing double NAT. My router doesn't know the
WAN IP because its WAN port gets a private address 
(192.168.1.64) from the DSL modem.
If the utility queries an outside server, it's no different
than browsing to http://whatismyip.com.
