Considering how privacy is a huge issue, I'm totally shocked that this version of Limewire (5.3.6) doesn't appear to have a method to determine what your OWN IP address is (and please don't tell me to go another web site like CMyIP).

There should be a simple button, somewhere, that one can click, so that I can determine, what IP address I am showing to the world (and the RIAA possibly).

Please. PLEASE, put this feature (back in!).

Thanks,

You know, you don't need LW to tell you what your IP address is, i.e. the address you search the Internet and gnutella network with.

If you have a modem router then check its Administrator Configuration Page or if you are using a single user USB or cable modem then you can look up your windows Local Area Connection Status.

I just had an extra thought, if you are using a modem router then LW and/or windows Local Area Connection Status would not show you the IP address that you were showing to the world, only your internal one.

You see, a modem router substitutes your internal IP for an external one and I would presume a multi-user cable system would do exactly the same thing.

So, if you have a modem router, multi-user cable modem or any other multi-user system used to access the Internet and you still want to see your external IP address then you have to use a site like CMyIP or your modem's configuration page.
