Hi Hugo, this will give you the IP :) ifconfig ppp0 | grep "inet addr:" | awk '{ print $2}' | tail -c14probably not the best solution, (the last part awk .... assumes your IP has 14 chars) but this came to mind first .. do some experimenting :)

Hi, Ifconfig says: ... ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocolinet addr:200.57.201.43 P-t-P:200.57.219.18 Mask:255.255.255.255...I want that inet addr (200.57.201.43) in a program and I prefer not to run the ifconfig command from it and grep it.Does anyone know where else in the system that information resides?I installed the net-tools source and looking at ifconfig.c it's not immediately obvious.Hugo
