Re: Determine IP Address of Router

Hi,

I think you can try with the command TRACERT from the qsh, you can redirect the output in to una file in the ifs.

The TRACERT command (for example TRACERT www.google.com) give you the step your ISeries use to go to google.

After this command You can read the file and watch the pubblic ip.

Sorry but now I am not in the Office and i can't test it.

+1 to this - I used to use a router inside my cable modem at home - that
gave me an internal address that never changed. Now, because of port
forwarding issues, it was simpler just to set up my DSL modem as the
internal router - and I use dyndns.org - and I've never been unable to
connect from outside. Well worth setting it up - and simple dyndns.org
is free - they have for-cost services, as well, IIRC.

Why not try getting the info from something like www.myipaddress.com. If you have a dynamic dns host name with dyndns.org your router might have a built in update and you might be able to query via nslookup.

Hi,



I have an iSeries (i5, iBM I, AS/400.etc.) behind a cable modem. The
cable modem is what connects me to the internet and serves as the initial
firewall and as the network router.



Ever so often the IP address of the modem/router changes. That is.if a
power outage occurs or other things happen beyond my control.the IP address
of the cable modem changes.



I am trying to think of a way I can determine, from my IBM I (As/400,
iSeries, i5, etc.), what the new IP address of that cable modem is.



I was trying to think if maybe there might be a PHP or java solution that I
could call from the iSeries to poll that cable modem to retrieve the current
outside IP address.



Any suggestions on how to accomplish that or if it is even possible?



Thanks!
