Don't think you can get it without hitting a remote machine. Unless the router itself can be queriedd for it. You could put the small cgi script on a web server somewhere and hit it with: lynx -dump http://remote.server.com/remadd.cgi cat remadd.cgi #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "REMOTE_ADDR = $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}"; print <<EOM; </BODY></HTML> EOM lynx -dump http://remote.server.com/remadd.cgi should return something like: REMOTE_ADDR = 69.44.143.256 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
