Local IP address?

[Zach]

I believe the original poster wants to know what private ip address
he's been assigned by the dhcp server behind his NAT.  Websites like
those mentioned, unfortunately (or fortunately!), can only tell you
your public ip assigned by your ISP, and can't see beyond your nat
router--assuming you're running NAT at all.  Original poster
definitely was behind a NAT--192.168.0.0 is a non-routable ip block.
