LAN-IP usually starts with 192.168.xxx.xxx (or at least 192.xxx.xxx.xxx
if it is a really big organization).

But beware that computers may be behind local gateways / routers and
hence only have a LAN-IP address but still have access to the Internet.

For instance, if I run "ipconfig /all" it would seem as if I only have
one IP-address 192.168.xxx.xxx, but the header of this post should
display a different address, namely the address of our local router.

Technically, there is no difference between LAN-IP and Internet-IP.
Practically, you can check for the IP address to know if it is located on
your LAN or somewhere else (Internet or other LAN-WAN). You need to compare
your IP address and remote IP addressn masked by your NetMask to know if the
address is local or remote.
