Hi Shannon,

The best solution I could think off is to use a web service ethat will tell
you what your public facing IP address is. One service I found through
Google is http://www.whatismyip.com/faq/automation.asp

I think it would be much easier to do this, than find a way to get it off
your router.

Subject: [WEB400] Determine IP Address of Router

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!



Shannon O'Donnell
