Hi
Thats another option of course, but just to make it clear, thats not an internal program, that still uses an external web address to return your ip address that shows to the internet - very much like getting the info back from dyndns. I'm sure thare are other reponders out there too.
In fact, if you have a known Linux box you can ssh into, you can do
tty
will give you the terminal id you are logged into (call that <tty> ), then
who | grep <tty>
will give you the ip address you are logged in from. In some cases it may give you a resolved name, in whach case, feed that into dig
eg
dig www.google.com
As I said, loads of options
Chris
