I have a mystery here that i can't seem to figure out. looking for assitance on what i may be missing.

Here is what is occuring.

I Currently run on a DSL setup, so my IP changes ALL the time. To track it, i use a program such as directupdate that queries a webpage to keep track of the IP (I run a router, so can't do it directly). The problem is, that since the last windows update (KB832894) All my browsers (netscape AND ie) detect the SAME external IP i had last detected via a browser (even though it is not valid) the 2k box and xp box that do not have the update, detect it correctly, this is all through the same router. I've currently worked around the issue by setting up the detection software an un-updated box, however i would like to be able to find a proper solution rather then a work around.

And yes, even sites like www.grc.com are showing this issue. I can see this causing a possible problem with secure websites as a result, though i've not encountered any other odditites since. I would update the software on other system to make sure this is the issue, but i don't want to create the same issue on other systems.
