Description:

Prints out your Internet-IP
I have an apache and if i want to share files with my friends, everytime i have to go to sites like www.whatismyip.de and copy and past the ip. now i only start a script and voila...

A simple bash script accomplishes this task as well...

#!/bin/bash

wget http://checkip.dyndns.org 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null

MYIP=`cat index.html | cut -d: -f2 | cut -d\< -f1`

rm index.html

echo "My WAN address is: $MYIP"
exit 0

An even simpler script:

-------begin---------
#!/bin/sh

echo "My Internet IP is: "`wget -qO- http://checkip.dyndns.org/ | sed 's|.* $[[:digit:]]*\.[[:digit:]]*\.[[:digit:]]*\.[[:digit:]]*$.*|\1|'`
-------end-----------

This is a one-liner, and note the space immediatly following "s|.* " :-)

Just for fun ;)
with one line :

MYIP=`lynx --dump "http://checkip.dyndns.org/" | gawk '{print $4}'`

Good! Great little helper.
For those not using dynamic ip services the host command will not work. So it beats bringing up a browser to check the router. Of course if you have no router access rights then this fits the bill very nicely.

going to dyndns or no-ip would solve this issue as well. =)

Let me guess... your IP address is 192.168.1.2? ;)

Your method works only if your address isn't sitting behind a router that is shared by many connections

sit down behind a router and try it again... i dont think, it will give you the real ip... maby the one from eth0 but not the ip fromt the router.. and i need this one, so i wrote this program

linux:/home/Foo # ifconfig
eth0 Protokoll:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:40:95:30:87:DC
inet Adresse:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Maske:255.255.255.0
inet6 Adresse: fe80::240:95ff:fe30:87dc/64 G
