Hmmm. I *did* test it before I sent it off. And I tested it again right 
now. Works fine for me. Perhaps you typed the url in your browser? 
Perhaps you typed in www.whatsmyip.com instead of www.whatismyip.com 
(two "i"s)? The first one is one of those @!#$% fake search engines. 
The second will tell you your ip address.

I made the that mistake when I was checking what you said... I was very 
confused for a bit, since clicking the link in the email gave me the 
right page, but when I typed it in in a lynx session on a remote host, 
I got a cheezy portal site. I took me a bit to notice my typo. Very 
subtle.
