This might sound naïve, but surely Winders and other non-Mac Unix  
machines have simple software that can show your external IP address  
in realtime, all of the time? Without resorting to external websites?

I use bwanadik on my Macintoshes (the name itself is interesting  
enough!) which tells me not only my internal and external IP  
addresses, but alerts me when either changes, in whatever way I want -  
but it's always present in my menubar, checking my computer's network  
interfaces for any sign of a change.
