The publicly visible IP address of your systems is that of the Linksys router. < It's not my Mac's address it is my router's ... the one seen by the internet world. I believe I had previously mistakenly thought it to be my cable modem IP address that wouldn't renew. But somehow switching to a wireless connection allowed my router to get a DHCP renew from my ISP whereas it has never allowed it before. Don't know why it made a difference since the ISP/cable modem shouldn't see past the router. Unless the MAC address for the wireless card still gets detected somehow. I made sure it was the public IP by testing it here: http://stealthtests.lockdowncorp.com/ Brian says: > I'll add, it usually is listed as the WAN address, on the status page. < I'll further add that my status page list three information sections - LAN, Wireless, and Internet. The (new)IP is listed in the Internet section.
