exposed internal IP

[russell bretherton]

did a fireware test on http://www.auditmypc.com/. One thing it said was:

"Our system detects your internal IP address as 80.2.***.*** and your
external address as 62.***.**.**. Your internal IP should be hidden whereas
your external is always exposed."

Do I need to worry? How do I hide it? (using free ZA and AVG)

The 80.2.128.229 address is your external address. It's in your post
headers. The 62.* address is probably the web proxy. Nothing you can do
about it so don't worry about it.

No, but you could write to auditmypc and tell them their system is
broken :-) Its incorrectly identifying your public IP as your internal
one, and ntl's proxy as if it were your public IP.

You already have done.
