Exactly also why I retrive the IP from external sites. First to avoid some "external pitfall", could you check, what your result is, when you open http://whatismyip.org in a browser? Does it shows correctly your IP or some error message? If it shows an error message, please check if your update-interval of giplet is set below 10 minutes (whatismyip.org does not like it to have a to shorten refresh rate from the same ip ...) A possible error you would get, can be the following "Error: 4 requests received from your IP address in the last 60 seconds (current max is 3 but automated agents should not query more often than once every 10 minutes)" So if this is not the cause I will forward your bugreport upstream directly to Lyman Li (the developer of giplet). > You could also try putting up 0.2.0 if you want and I can take a spin at > it. I just uploaded 0.2.0 to my PPA for intrepid so you can also test this version.
