Just thought I'd share this in case it was of any use to anyone, and so at
least one post on the list is not about Steve Jobs and Apple's tyrannical
actions :-)
To get the user's (internet, not local network) IP address, put a text file on
your server with this code:
Then in your app:

Bob, I figured it out. I'm just a special case where the IP address on my
machine goes all the way to the server without going through any other layers.

Josh,
I don't think a better way is needed. Since in the rare case that he has a
network connection but can't connect to your server, then, there's something
odd happening.
Yes there's the case where the whole app locks while trying to find if it
can connect or not, maybe setting the socketTimeou

That's because you connect to the internet without a gateway/router/firewall,
in which case there is no public IP. I would rectify that situation pronto. No
one should connect directly to the internet these days.

Huh. I'm an IT guy and although I knew about (what some call) classic routers
(we use a double routing method here) I was not aware that there was a such
thing as fire walling without some kind of NAT protection. If this is fairly
common as you say, I am quite shocked! For servers I would set up

Thanks again for the info,

Hi Mike.
It is the generally accepted rule of thumb that some kind of firewall appliance
between your cable modem and your computer is highly advisable. First, it
almost certainly will use some form of NAT, which is Network Address
Translation. This converts the packet info containing your loc
Bob,
Thank you very much for the good info. You've fired me up install the setup you
describe. Until now I've probably just been luckier than I deserve to be.
