Oh thats an EASY one! Tell the customer to go into Netscape, then go to
ANY site that has cgi enabled. There is USUALLY test.cgi programs that
come with Apache, and other httpd servers. They USUALLY spit back the IP
address of the client machine, plus some other fun stuff.

OR if they are using Trumpet (yes there is a 95 version), then can just
look at the trumpet window.

Im sure that there are JUST prorgams that report the IP address of the
client. Most client software like WS-FTP, MIRC, NETSCAPE, etc... All have
that built-in, but you dont necessarily want to run clients to get the
infoz.
