Thanks Cabhan. I was just wondering if there was a way I could do it without using a website like this. Is there some way for me to interrogate the router for this information??
What do you need the external IP for ? to ssh to or access a web page maybe ?
Then you run a Dyanmic IP client on your workstation that 'phones home' to the dynamic DNS service to update your IP address and keey your DNS name pointed at it..
Really a neat service for home users.
What do u mean by external IP?
