iStat Widget Problem!

macuser1232 · Oct 9, 2012

Hey so I just recently noticed that under the Network column on the iStat widget it says "Ext: Unknown." It's supposed to display my router's IP. So apparently iStat says my external IP is unknown. I think it may have to do with me installing the Tor bundle for Mac. I have uninstalled Tor and tried reinstalling iStat and I'm still having the problem. Anyone know how to fix this? Please help!

Thanks

Anyone? It may not even be caused by Tor. Does anyone know why this is happening? Is this normal?

Now it just says "Ext: Updating..."

Same here. I think the widget did some external lookup to get the IP. Maybe went back to
islayer site or something, just speculating or maybe something with the OS update. I'm running MtLion, not sure if it stopped when I switched over.
Currently islayer is not responding (15:24 EST 10/16/12).
You can use this command from CLI to get your outside address:

$ curl whatismyip.akamai.com; echo
