Another method comes to mind similar to my last posted method, but for *behind* a firewall if you have a static hostname but dynamic ip (lots of ISP's do this):
traceroute -m1 my.statichostname.net | mail -s "My Asterisk IP address" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yet another method is, a lot of Linksys / SMC bluebox routers also display the external IP in their little management web site that they have. You could use this in a shell script as follows: getmyexternalip.sh rm -f /etc/myexternalip.txt wget --cache=off --http-user=admin --http-passwd=admin --output-document=/etc/myexternalip.txt http://192.168.1.1/status.html grep "WAN IP Address" /etc/myexternalip.txt | mail -s "My Asterisk IP address" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Otherwise, DyDNS.org is the way to go. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
