    Well, if you are like me, and have a router dong NAT between the
    firewall box and the dsl modem, you could go there and find your outside
    address, or you could goto the routers web interface and check it there
    but its probably slower.

    Between the router and iptables/portsentry/tcpwrappers on the firewall
    box, I'm pretty invisible on the net with the only thing showing being
    a closed identd port. Unless of course I have the gates open for
    bittorrent which isn't terribly often, I don't leach music. I've
    logged 3 attacks in 3 years, and two of them came from a verizon dns
    server I was assigned to use that had been rooted. vz loves M$ of
    course...
