"Obfuscation apparent" because it isn't showing hostnames?  Are you sure 
that's not just a change in default options?  istr, that there are three 
options - to always show hostnames, never show hostnames, and something in 
between, so perhaps the default has become "always".

Er, yes - and he explained that, earlier.  You don't want to be using nmap 
on addresses, because people think you're hacking them.

That may or may not work.  Certainly wouldn't work for me - since that's not 
my router's internal address.   There are any number of pages on the 
Internet that will tell you your Internet address.

In any case, it's not what the OP was looking for.
