    You do not seem to have the actual address of your Internet. All the 
192.168.x.x are sub IP to the various users. I have an ActionTec DSL 
modem and router. To get my real IP address I got to http://192.168.0.1 
and it has a page that tells me all about it. I print that page and it 
is all there.

    This works on most small and some quite big routers. My Real IP is 
216.31.x.x which changes if I turn off. But I stay on for many days and 
it's good for that period. I can ping my IP and it is quite fast.
