Mhh, does not work for me.

The applet shows the IP address reported by ifconfig I guess. I get a IP from my provider (O2) which belongs to a private subnet (10.x.x.x) and will effectively not be routed. Checking my external IP on my webpage (http://ip.olausson.de) I get valid routeable IP (82.113.xxx.xxx).

Anyway, I can't connect via SSH, but that is another story.

So my suggestion would be: Report the INTERNAL IP and the real EXTERNAL IP by a lookup on a external source)

This is also helpful when you are connected to a router and need to know your real IP.

If you consider this, please make an option to display, either the external IP, the internal IP or both. Also you might consider to show VPN (OpenVPN) IPs (Thats currently my way to ssh to the N900).

Cheers Bjoern

Nice geeky applet. Sometimes useful, but mostly it's just for fun.

simple and convenient... not to belittle ifconfig in any way.
