In that case, I'd use wget to grab the status page off your router, then grep the part of the page that lists the external IP. In my case -- with a Linksys WRT54G router -- I'd do wget -O - --http-user admin --http-passwd mypassword http://192.168.1.1/Status_Router.asp 2>/dev/null |grep -A 1 'IP Address:' |tail -1 |grep -o '<B>.*</B>' |sed 's/<\/\?B>//g' That's a very-specific-to-my-router, very hackish way of getting what I want, that will break as soon as the formatting of the status page changes. But it works. If you'd like me to walk through what the command line does, let me know. -- Stephen R.
