    finding own IP ?

    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"
    Tips:
    • Google is your friend! Search before posting!
    • Name your thread appropriately... "I Need Help" doesn't cut it!
    • Always post your code!!!! We can't read your mind!!! (well, at least most of us!)
    • Allways Include the Name and Line of the Exception (if one is occuring!)
    • If it is relevant state the version of Visual Studio/.Net Framwork you are using (2002/2003/2005)
