Firefox & JRE 1.4.2/1.5.0 exposes internal IP through NAT
843798Nov 22 2004 — edited Nov 23 2004I don't why this is occuring but when using Sun Java 1.4.2/1.5.0 within Mozilla Firefox 1.0 on Windows XP SP2, i am finding that it will expose my internal IP which is normally hidden via my NAT firewall by my router.

Disabling java from within Firefox will stop the problem occuring, and the problem does not seem to arise when using Sun Java from with the latest version of Internet Explorer 6, what is happening?
