[QUOTE="gatorparrots, post: 18719"] Lately, I've been using this code to obtain my external IP address: [code]curl -s [url]http://www.showmyip.com/simple/[/url] | awk '{print $1}'[/code] However, if you have a Linksys BEFSR-series router, the following code is better for scripting purposes, as it obtains results in about half the time: [code] /usr/bin/curl --connect-timeout 5 -s \ http://:$PASSWORD@$ROUTERIP/Status.htm | \ sed -e 's/^.*IP Address://' | \ sed -e 's/=2>/\\ /' | \ sed -e '1 d' | \ sed -e 's/<.*//'[/code] [/QUOTE]
