Thanks. A couple of questions, if I may.

1) How do I find my IP address as soon as I start up, and what should I be looking for when I find it?

2) Re the 5 minutes. I may have been suffering from the "watched kettle" effect here, that is the objective time being shorter than the subjective time. However, I'd swear by at least a 3 minute delay and it is definitely longer than it was a week or so ago.
