everytime I wanna know my ip I have to go to a website that'd give me my IP address. I'm behind a router, and I'm wondering if there is a way to find out my external IP via command prompt.
I know I can find it by going to the router and by using programs and whatnot:-D but is it possible to do it via command prompt? I have winxp pro
Nope. The computer doesn't know that it is getting an IP address from a router. It just knows that it is getting an IP addres, and can report where it got it from.
There always is DynDns (free)
this also works great if your router supports it (otherwise you will need a software client)
to get your personal website all you need to type is http://MrPolite.is-a-geek.com
btw: you want the Dynamic DNS Service.
After setting this up, if you still want to use the command prompt
just do "nslookup MrPolite.is-a.geek.com"
hey thanks. yeah I've already got a dyndns account, it's awesome:) and thanks for that command, I didnt know abotu nslookup :)Quote:
