[ale] gateway external ip

[Doug McNash]

No, the router has 2 interfaces one local 192.168.1.1 and 
one external 68.184.118.129 (assigned from cable co thru 
dhcp).  I want to know the external interface ip address 
but the traceroute from inside my network bounces off the 
192.168.1.1 interface, not the external.

Now I could ask one of the network utilities on the web 
what it thinks my ip address is 
(https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2) or my router thru it's 
web interface.
