Getting my ip address

Question

I have a computer on a small network, so my ip is 192.168.2.100.

I am trying to get my real ip. I download the no-ip client but that just seems like a lot of trouble

Answer 1

Unfortunately, you're server will most likely be completely oblivious to what it's own External address appears to be (as it might be set further upstream via some router/gateway)

You could have a look at this link

http://ip-address.domaintools.com/myip.xml

It might be a little easier to parse than what you're currently doing.
