@Andrew – no, I don’t think it would. Certainly that’s the line being taken by the open postcodes projects – see this post on this very blog for links to two of them.

What is the legal position for a group that sets out to collect addresses and postcodes from NON PAF sources?
Would it infringe the Royal Mail’s IPR?

Very sorry to everyone for this; an error in the editing process. If you want to find out your IP address, the link should have been http://noc.net.umd.edu/cgi-bin/netmgr/whoami We've changed this. Again, apologies.

I tried both, and I see what is happening.
http://www.whatsmyip.org/ gives your IP address.

However http://www.lawrencegoetz.com/programs/ipinfo/ gives the IP address of the computer that connects to it. For most people, their computer does not connect to the net directly, but via a Proxy Server which is shared by all their ISP’s customers, and which provides optimisation and control. E.g. for NTL customers like me, it will be 62.253.128.11 or similar. These are not the IP digits you are looking for.

Short version: http://www.whatsmyip.org/ is the one to use if you want to look up your PC or home network’s address.

Unfortunately http://www.whatsmyip.org/ and http://www.lawrencegoetz.com/programs/ipinfo/
give entirely different IP addresses. What gives?
