Saddly I don't see an external ip address.

I just enabled the DMZ option for this machine and still nada. (do I
need to reboot?).

I'm running win ME. I don't think a firrewall is running. It doesn't
Show up in the TaskManager.

*I* ever turned it on...

BTW, thanks for your time with this problem, hopefully it's of some use
to others as well as to me.
