| tenbytes | is there anything else that i don't have to parse? | October 19, 2004, 5:56 AM |
| Yoni | Good question - unfortunately the answer is no. :( There's no way to find out your external IP without consulting an external third party. | October 19, 2004, 6:32 AM |
| Mephisto | You could always write a simple ASP.NET or PHP script that will record your IP and print it to a simple HTML page. It's not really a conventional way to do things, or simple/easy rather, but it's an option if you don't want to go to another Website you don't know too much about, and rather just go to yours. | October 19, 2004, 2:23 PM |

[/quote] Now, what are the ways of finding this out? Perhaps sending a somehow bad packet out and looking at the icmp reply? You should be able to dig your own IP out of the returned part there? | October 19, 2004, 9:36 PM |
| CrAzY | I'm guessing your on a router, Log into your router and you should be able to find it some where on there. But it is much easier to just type "what is my IP" on google. :) | November 4, 2004, 8:56 PM |

[/quote]Couldn't you create 2 sockets and bind one, then have the other connect to the first, then grab the remote IP, or would that just return 127.0.0.1? | November 6, 2004, 4:30 PM |

| Arta | Perhaps query network settings to get the IP of the default gateway? | November 6, 2004, 5:35 PM |
