Check Your IP From Behind A Router

[Redhatcc]

Anyone have any idea how to get your external IP address from a command line when your behind a router? I saw on some linux forums how to get around to doing that but... no luck with XP? Any clues or .exe's you can save/run to do this? Thanks...

btw lol has to be in a command line....

Well when you're not afraid of digging in html:

telnet www.whatismyip.com 80<enter>
GET / HTTP/1.1 ^JHost:www.whatismyip.com ^J^J

Ping your domain name and let DNS do the work for you

I found whatsmyip don’t report the IP address correctly if you use a satellite ISP.

@Smiley357: Then how does the respons reach you?

@Redhatcc: Can you open www.whatismyip.com in a browser?

[Smiley357]

I don’t have satellite but friends do and when I send them to that site for there IP it will give a incorrect IP. So I just walk them through the steps of logging into there router to find there ip.

[Redhatcc]

yea it comes up fine in browser

as far as sifting through html, this should be simple

http://whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp

Great!

telnet www.whatismyip.com 80

GET /automation/n09230945.asp HTTP/1.1

Host:whatismyip.com

works for me. No digging in html.

Maybe you should have a look at your firewall?

[Redhatcc]

figured out what the problem is but no solution lol..

i "can" telnet into it and connect but what i type doesnt show up and when i send the GET command it goes through but nothing shows up after i hit enter.

if i telnet to the site and hit enter it comes up with bad command error, but if i telnet into the server and enter the GET command the cursor goes to the next line so the command went through. if i hit enter after that it comes up bad command error...

[Mijzelf]

You should not use enter, but Control-J.

Get ... ^JHost:... ^J^J

[Redhatcc]

ok got it working lol

telnet www.whatismyip.com 80 (enter)

GET /automation/n09230945.asp HTTP/1.1 ^j Host:whatismyip.com ^j^j

works :thumbup

Thank you Mijzelf for your patients and help!!!!

Now next step is figure out a way to copy that to a text file lol >.<

I have no idea why people use whatismyip.com. It's much easier to use whatismyip.org

[hons]

Try to do it simple!!!!

Try this :

http://www.dslreports.com/whois

It will tell you what IP yoursefl is.

[Smiley357]

www.Whatsmyip.org is a lot nicer then .com but how would you use that in a bat file?

Redhatcc :

Why are you trying to find your IP in a bat file? B/c of the FTP site you are making?
