Retrieve Wan Address
Hello,
On my home computer I have an ADSL connection behind a router to go on the internet. On each systemstart I become a dynamic IP address from my ISP. Since I often have to make connection from the office to my home computer, I always have to ring home ans ask to verify the Wan Ip.
So, it it possible to retrieve the Wan IP address and store it into a file.
If thats possible, i can (at system start), retrieve the address and send the file automatically to the ftp server on the office.
I'll already have a batch routine to send the file.
What I need now is a batch routine to retrieve the Wan IP address and to store that information in a file.
Could someone help me?
Thanks
Frank

ah you want to script it sorry there is a utility you can use called "CmdNET" to discover your public ip the syntax is CmdNET /p

CmdNET is a command line tool capable of retrieving information about your currently assigned local and public/WAN IP address. Furthermore it can display your NICs MAC address. Errorlevel and redirection of output to file is also supported.

I am not well versed in batch files but I guess you can understand and implement the same.
you should be able to use that and get the IP address to a text file on your machine and then whatever method you use , you should be get that to your office and then dial in
post back if you need more assistance

Good Morning ,Pete..
I thought so. I forgot the point that he is behind router. if he is not then he should be able to use ipconfig /all and get the IP..

Pete,
I am stepping into the less experienced TA when the big cats are around..LOL !!
I am thinking about this idea
a) I am behind a router. Is there a command that can give me my WAN IP.. If I am not behind a router , i can give ipconfig /all and get it but why cant I get when I behind a router..
b) Technically , why wouldn't be possible to telnet to my router (telnet 192.168.0.1) and then get the WAN IP..

hi
remember though, that sometimes ( and periodically ) your ISP changes your IP, unless you request a 'sticky' or a true fixed
hope this helps

tell me what commands you run on your machine to find out your WAN IP?
if feasible, I will help you write a batch file for that !!

u can run a bach file with text saying "ipconfig /all" at command prompt.
but u have to think of saving this into a file....
Or better, give your system MAC adress to the ISP to bing it to a reserved Public IP adress if possible......

isn't a reserved public the same as 'sticky'

Thanks everyone for their answers.
First of all the CMDnet comment (PeteLong) is the one I have always used before. But since i'm behind a router it gives no return as public address.
Thanks to LucF for his idee concerning the dynamic dns servers.
It was the first time I've heared from it.
So I done some search and found a small service thats runs quite well under WinXP.
This service called DNSer V1.3.2 is freeware.
On a user intervalvalue it check's the current Wan IP eigther from an Internet server or directly from your Router.
When the address is changed it sends the new IP to a dynamic Dns server.
I had problems doing it with dyndns.org but it works very good with no-ip.com.
So my problem is solved.
Since LucF gives me the original idee I want to give my points to him.
Thanks
Frank
