I have a question about this; I am network stupid so consider that when 
replying.
We're on a Comcast cable modem.
I connect the the cable modem with an Apple Airport Extreme wireless 
router/firewall gizmo.  The configuration utility for the Airport 
Extreme says that I am assigned an IP address via DHCP and NAT and the 
address that I see at my end always looks something like 10.0.1.5 or 
10.0.1.11 which is, of course, because we're behind the firewall 
represented by the Apple box.
The number I get when I use your website is something like 24.6.156.161. 
  Maybe it changes as time goes by because Comcast says that they assign 
one address dynamically to each user (I haven't checked to see if this 
is true, yet).  So I assume that this number that I see is somehow the 
IP address of the "cable" or wireless router attached to the cable?
