to the second poster, you shouldn't be advertising your IP address
He isn't.
* First of all, I'm not sure it's his own screenshot, it's the same one seen at the application's own homepage.
* Secondly, 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 is a series of IP address reserved for local use. (As is 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 and 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255.) I.E. it's not an external IP address, and cannot be reached outside his local network. (127.0.0.1 is localhost, but you know that, right?)
* Third, and perhaps most important, It's not a big deal to advertise your IP address, it's not like hackers "scan" websites for IP numbers like spammers do with e-mail addresses. IP addresses are too easy to collect using other methods, and are not really a secret number, neither meant to be so...
