Seeking my router's public IP address
in [MFC]

From: Charles Tam on 29 Apr 2008 22:31 Hi, What is the best way to retrieve my router's public IP address in VC++? My router receives a dynamic IP address from my ISP. Overtime, the address changes, and I would like to retrieved the updated address regularly.
From: Joseph M. Newcomer on 30 Apr 2008 08:56 The first place to start would be your router's documentation. Next, your router company's tech support people. joe On Tue, 29 Apr 2008 19:31:01 -0700, Charles Tam <CharlesTam(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: >Hi, >What is the best way to retrieve my router's public IP address in VC++? >My router receives a dynamic IP address from my ISP.

From: Serge Wautier on 30 Apr 2008 15:09 Assuming your router is ocnnected to the Internet and what you want is your public IP address, a commonly used technique consists in sending an HTTP GET request to website that tell you your public IP address (such as whatismyip.org). You may want to support a list of different servers in case on becomes unrepsonsive (remember they are free services).
