When I do a what-is-my-ip it shows me one IP address. When I do a traceroute
out to the internet, the first internet address I see is the same as the web browser results but one number lower....

welcome to U&L, 1 what's my IP tool like are likely to show your "home" adress (8.8.8.8), not your local adresse (192.168.1.1). 2 we are happy to answer windows/networking/web question, but this Stackexchange site (Unix&Linux) is intended for Unix and Linux.

There maybe a network-address-translator involved. I would not expect the address to be one lower, but often they are very different. The internet is full (no more addresses), so we need a new one (IPv6). In the mean time ISP's are giving most customers no more than one IP address (some have less: have to share). When one of your machines connects out, the Network Address Translator changes your IP to the public one. This is fine for most outgoing connections, but not for incoming. And is usually not noticed, by most users.
Thanks for your reply, strange thing is, is that the interface on the Firewall which is also the Gateway has the external IP address one above the one reported by the Trace route command.

All the IPs on the same sub-net will have similar addresses. So something like?.?.?.x
or?.?.x.x
where x changes. Therefore one higher is on the same subnet, traceroute does not always identify all of the nodes. Some are missed completely, some are anonymous.
