Re: GTR Webcast
For those that didn't catch my earlier post, you can get your IP by running a trace route to some known website. Probably hitting the watch.discoverychannel.ca site would be most useful. To run a traceroute, open a command shell by hitting your start button, clicking on "run" and then typing "cmd" for XP/2000 or "command" for anyone still running 98. In the command shell you'd type:
tracert watch.discoverychannel.ca
After you hit enter it prints out the path from your computer to the website. Your actual IP that's exposed to the world is likely the first with some sort of name on the right side, but copying the first 4-5 lines of the trace is pretty much guaranteed to get your IP address unless you're in some huge highly layered corporate network or are hiding from the authorities behind several proxy servers. In which case you stopped reading at about the second sentence.
Also, I'm blithely assuming that the linux users out there know how to do this already.
