Existing users, 
It takes up too much space in the menubar, 'WAN ip' is not great usage ('external ip' is better). Of course, whatismyip.com = 216.51.232.100 = ns100.fastdnsservers.com, so it's exactly the same as using curl. It somehow also looks up google.com (ipv4 and ipv6), which is, at least, suspect. My hostname and lo0 address shouldn't be displayed either. And it doesn't say the ip I usually want, which is my upstream ip (ifconfig is better for this) to determine how much I'm lagging.
I also don't think the version number should be above 1.5.

"4.5" is an overstatement - plaintiger
oh, and registering IP 4.7 will let you change the names of the displayed addresses. so you can change "WAN" to "external" (or whatever turns you on).Monday, May 02 2005 @ 02:25 AM PDT

have you looked at IP's preferences? you can choose to display it as an icon that takes up no more space in the menubar than any of OS X's stock menubar icons, and if IP's displaying your hostname and Io0 address makes you uneasy (though i have no idea why it should) you can uncheck their little boxes in the prefs and voilà! - they're not displayed.and your gripe about "WAN IP" vs. "external IP" is just a nit-pick. i agree that "external IP" would be clearer, but it's nothing about which to talk down the app.
