Not, as far as I know, if you're using a router. Routers translate private, or local, IP addresses into Internet addresses when sending or receiving, and vice-versa. So your PC or Mac believes it's something like 192.168.x.y, you have to interrogate the router or a server on the web (as above) to see what your current Internet IP address is. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
