Everyone, when you click the link, the number that you see is the way the World Wide Web sees your computer. If you run a Router, that number will NOT be actual.
To get the ACTUAL number for your LOCAL MACHINE (your gaming machine), go to Start, Run, type 'CMD' and a new window will pop up. Type "ipconfig". Mine is 192.168.1.101, but the World Wide Web sees it as 68.61.7.XXX. Confusing? yes... but it's important information to run ANY game online, whether it's Flight Sim or not.
NOTE: If you are NOT running any routers and the two numbers are different, its because of the way your ISP runs and there really isn't much you can do about it except call them.
P.S. I figured I would add this post because Routers are becoming more and more popular, and learning about them is VERY important for a great on-line experience.
