Sadly, I tried this on my remote machine, but it did not give the same address as "firefox http://whatismyipaddress.com/"; (where I had to wait for a minute or so to get the response). I'm baffled by this at the moment. I can ping both addresses, but cannot ssh into either, which I take to be the concrete test that I have the right address. (But I suspect that upgrading the remote machine to CentOS-5.4 may have changed things in some way.) I'm pretty sure that "whatismyaddress.com" has given the correct address in the past. Surprisingly to me, "lynx http://whatismyipaddress.com/"; gets an error message on both local and remote machines. "traceroute -n google.com", which has also been suggested, gives a third IP address. I shall continue with my experimentation ... -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
