Correct. it may not be the router public IP. For example, I have Cisco PIX NAT for my desktop so that my router public IP and my desktop's public IP are different.

In my case, if I have DDNS point to the web in my desktop, I will setup DDNS pointing to my desktop public IP instead of the router IP.

Ok I do know some things about networking but not enough for this subject.
When I go to a site like myip.com to check my external address I think it is
reporting my router's IP. Reason for that line of thinking is because I'm
behind a router. But I'm not totally sure it is my routers IP. Also, I am
having some other question about my external IP if it is indeed my router's.
I also happen to of set my computer's IP to be static. But my question is;
How do I get a Dynamic DNS service to get to my computer which is hosting my
own website or audio stream but the internet wont see my IP. So what do I do
if I'm behind a router?
