From: Daniel Ngu on 22 Apr 2008 20:00 Hi, How do I find out what's the dynamic IP I get when connected to my ISP? I'm not broadband BTW. Thanks.

Assuming it is Linux box then: /sbin/ifconfig will show the IP addresses assigned to your network interfaces. If you are connecting through a router of some sort (like the Linksys, Netgear, etc) routers, then you'll have to connect to it and see what address it got. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I have this feeling that my last response to this thread never made it through or something. ;) curl *definitely* works with shell scripts, and like I pointed out, www.whatismyip.org (not .com) is specifically designed for tools such as curl. Running that URL as the argument for curl will return only the current machine's public IP address, with no extra formatting or HTML messiness. Thus, it is the ideal way of getting this output cleanly. It can even be used as input, e.g.: nmap $(curl www.whatismyip.org) Lee -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
