And sought of back on topic - my wifi only kindle never gets books that I've purchased while it is sleeping. I've checked a number of times. The books are not there when first awakened but the indicator arrow rotates when I turn it on and "download items" shows up and books start arriving. Now whether it turns on at other times for some quick housekeeping (or spying) I don't know.
You need the IP address of your router. The most common one is 192.168.1.1. If that is not it, you can find it on your computer under Default Gateway. Enter the IP Address into the location bar on your browser, and you should be prompted for a username and password. This is probably listed on your router or your instruction manual, unless you change it. Once you're logged in, there is probably a "status" page that shows what devices were connected.

(See the attachment for a screenshot of where you could find the IP address on Windows Vista/7)
