We're using PAT.  That means that, when I use a private host to access 
the internet, I could be on any one of a number of IP addresses. 
However, I was assuming that Marc is using the IP reported by ifconfig, 
which *should* be unique for each host, as opposed to the IP that 
connects to him, which could represent literally thousands of hosts in 
some cases.
