Here's a very quick snippet to find out where this particular computer is in the internet world (linux only)

include std/io.e 
include std/filesys.e 
 
sequence ifile, thiscomp = {}, extaddr = {} 
 
system("/sbin/ifconfig > if.txt", 0) 
 
ifile = read_lines("if.txt") 
for i = 1 to length(ifile) do 
        if match("inet addr:", ifile[i]) > 0 then 
                thiscomp = "This computer " & ifile[i][match("inet addr:", ifile[i])..$] 
                exit 
        end if 
end for 
 
system("wget -q http://automation.whatismyip.com/n09230945.asp", 0) 
extaddr = read_lines("n09230945.asp") 
extaddr = "External ip = " & extaddr[1] 
 
puts(1, thiscomp & "\n") 
puts(1, extaddr & "\n") 
delete_file("wget.log") 
delete_file("n09230945.asp") 
delete_file("if.txt")

object z = pipeio:create() 
 
process p = pipeio:exec("curl http://checkip.dyndns.com/", z) 
 
object myip = pipeio:read(p[STDOUT], 256) 
 
pipeio:kill(p)

object r = regex:new("\\b\\d{1,3}\\.\\d{1,3}\\.\\d{1,3}\\.\\d{1,3}\\b") 
 
sequence ip = regex:find(r, myip) 
 
puts(1, myip[ip[1][1]..ip[1][2]])
