Question

I’m learning JSP now.
I tried to test a very simple sample JSP file, there is one line code inside:
…
<%
…
out.println(“Your IP Address is : ” + request.getRemoteAddr());
…
%>
…

I checked this JSP file, it works well, gives me expected information.
But, only above code output is different in different browsers:

IE8/Google Chrome: the output is correct, for example, 192.168.214.161

But in Firefox/Opera: my locale ip address becomes to another one: 192.168.99.211.

I asked our network administrator, but no sure what this means, may be a mail server.

So, anybody can teach me why?
Besides, my working environment is: Client side: WinXP; Server side: Windws Server 2003 R2/Apache Tocmat 5.5.17, JRE1.5.0_15.

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps your browsers have different proxy settings.
