Automaticaly check LAN IP when going online: this is useful on PCs which use DHCP to obtain its IP address.

WAN IP Address
RealTimeQuery needs to know the IP address used by your computer in Internet, in order to do this, RealTimeQuery connects to a CGI program that echoes your IP, it is a PERL script called rtq_echoip.cgi.
The rtq_echoip.cgi program is only called if your IP is dynamic. If you have a static IP address, just ignore the "Echo IP" field and enter your static IP in the "IP" field.

By default RealTimeQuery is configured to use an rtq_echoip.cgi script located in www.realtimequery.com/live. Also you can use your own web server to host this script, you will find the rtq_echoip.cgi in the main folder of this RealTimeQuery distribution.

IP : This field shows your IP address, click the "check" button to get your current one.
