The gateway usually asks the ISP for an Internet IP, which is different from its LAN IP. I can't remember right off whether every LAN computer shares that IP or if they each somehow get their own sub-IP...in any case, you can go to whatsmpIP.com and it'll tell you what your IP looks like to the rest of the world. Or you can even read your IP in your player attributes on Graal. That'll definitely tell you what Graal considers your IP to be.

I know that on my network, this computer is 192.168.10.1 and the computer in my brother's room is 192.168.10.2. I just use that last digit to identify any other computer I add to the network such as when my brother's friends bring their computers over. I really need to get a bigger and faster hub >.<
