I think it's fairly clever to use snmpwalk, with the result piped through egrep -v '^127\.0\.0.|^169\.254\.|^172\.3[0-1]\.|^172\.2[0-9]\.|^172\.1[6-9]\.|^192\.168\.|^224\.|^2[45][0-9]\.|^10\.' it should be OK in normal configurations and to me it's a better solution, than using whatismyip.com because: a) more robust, you are not at the mercy of another entity, which is not legally required to provide this service 24/7 at no cost for eternity b) more paranoid, whatismyip.com won't "log" him c) more lightweight, technologically better, faster, just local network traffic, less network traffic Ciao Nat! --------------------------------------------------------- Wer nichts weiß, muss viel glauben -- H.
