Hi,

How do I find out what's the dynamic IP I get when connected
to my ISP? I'm not broadband BTW.

I use "www.whatsmyip.org", I have NAT at home, and the
"far side" of my DSL modem is a private class-A address
(10.0.something.something), so it's useful to have a utility
that cuts through the crap.

Of course, it does require that you have a working
web browser. If you (or I) were clever, we'd probably
do some tricky tracert thing.

ddclient can parse html to read your external IP address from your
router's status page. I don't know if there's a clean way to use that
functionality independently of ddclient itself.
