Sorry butting in. If you can send emails, send one to a suitable
address and then look up the options/headers, your router or pc ip will
be in there.
Hope this helps.
Walter

Had this myself once - good to rule out:
Contact your ISP and ask them what your fixed IP is (presuming you are
paying for a fixed IP?) and enquire if they are doing any maintenance or
future scheduled work on their infrastructure that may affect their
addressing scheme.

HI Steve/Neel/anyone else who want to comment,
Thanks for your suggestions.
First of all i should have been clearer. I don't have any
problems
inside my little network. i can browse served up apps on my
ruby on
rails box on port 3000 without any difficulty from another
machine.
my problem is that i cannot get from outside my router (say from
work)
onto my router and through to the RoR box. when i go to
www.whatisimyip.net i get a totally different IP from the one my
router
says it has??? how is that possible? i restarted my router and
the it
gets a new IP but the whatismyip is still different.
i have the router set up to forward any tcp for port 3000 onto
the
particular box. i also have the remote management switched on -
its just
one of those consumer netgear things. that should allow me to
access
remotely the router set up. it's set up for port 8080.
ok, so when i go to access the router from the internet onthat
port i
get nothing. however i tried out neels suggesion and used nmap.
that
told me ports 80 and 5190 are open. it says 3000 and 8080 are
closed.
my router is set up that 3000 and 8080 should be open????? also,
80 and
5190 closed??? what is going on? for nmap i used the IP address
the
router tells me it has.
the router has a log, all that is showing is that i constantly
get
attempts made on port 26390? (Dos) whatever that means? does
that mean
denial of service? quick though came to me...does that prevent
access
from outside? is that my problem?
any help appreciated? this problem is more than a bit annoying
now :-)
cheers,
jon.
