Comment 14 for bug 307170

Hi Salvatore Bonaccorso,
        First of all thank you for trying to get this one right and
taking time to respond on the issue.

I added the PPA and installed it but don't get what I need it.

$ dpkg -l giplet
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description
+++-================-================-================================================
ii giplet 0.1.8-2.intrepid GNOME IP display applet

Now what I'm trying to do is not get the IP from the local interface
but from the websites ""www.getmyip.org whatismyip.org" but not getting it :(

I went to Preferences and in interfaces deleted eth0 and just let
""www.getmyip.org whatismyip.org" therein.

I am using dhcp. Perhaps a look at my ifconfig will tell you what I mean.

shirish@shirish-desktop:~$ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:07:95:44:10:db
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
          Interrupt:18 Base address:0xc800

eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:a1:92:56:33
          inet addr:192.168.1.4 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::208:a1ff:fe92:5633/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
          RX packets:6397106 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:6991304 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:4213783164 (4.2 GB) TX bytes:1534493981 (1.5 GB)
          Interrupt:22 Base address:0xcc00

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
          RX packets:6858 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:6858 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:1173932 (1.1 MB) TX bytes:1173932 (1.1 MB)

In this case having either eth0 or eth1 is of no use :(

So need the info. from the sites. If you want me to do something more
lemme know.

You could also try putting up 0.2.0 if you want and I can take a spin at it.

Also in this brief time I've been trying Giplet (less than an hour)
trying to do anything in preferences take a long long time for
Preferences to close.
