What system are you on ? On linux you don't need an external host to 
tell you who you are unless you run through a NAT firewall atyour 
premises or your isp's.

Both lynx and, better, wget, can be used to obtain the source of a web 
page. wget is easier to use than lynx in this context.

Is that host behind a NAT firewall ?
