Hi,
Before I begin I should mention that I am not a networking genius so bear with me a little here.
I am connected to the internet via my router. However, I want to find out "how the internet sees my computer". When I use a website such as www.whatismyipaddress.com it returns the ip address of my connection. I think this relates to the router though and not my computer specifically since if I use the same website on the other computer that uses the router, I get the same address. How do I find out what the IP address of my computer is so that it could be accessed via the internet from another computer? The reason for this is that I am trying to implement a media server on my computer so it can be accessed via the internet.
Sorry if my explanation wasn't too clear. Any questions, just ask
