Bug Description
Binary package hint: giplet
giplet is showing the IP received on eth0 as 59.95.28.106 and if I change it to eth1 it shows as 192.168.1.3
Now the problem is how they are connected.
eth0 doesn't work at all.
$ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:07:95:44:10:db

That's my ifconfig. Please lemme know if anything else is needed.

Hi
Note, that in the default giplet has configuration line for interfaces to be "eth0 www.getmyip.org". If eth0 is not configured, then the second interface value "is checked". So if you have something like "eth0 www.getmyip.org" and eth0 is not configured, it will show the external ip which is get from www.getmyip.org.
Does this somehow helps on your problem? If you want to show the external ip, simply left www.getmyip.org. If you want to have the IP of a specific interface, make an entry of only that interface. if the interface does not have curently an IP, then giplet will show the text "Giplet".
