I can go to some site that gives the visitor their ip address and
screen scrape, but I'd like to know if there is a cleaner solution
before I start scripting.
Nope, that's the way to go. I'd deposite some very small cgi-bin on some
webserver, eg this one:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print Content-type: text/plain\n\n;
print $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR};

The ``ifconfig'' command will show the information for one or all NICs on the system including the private IP address assigned. Checking on an external site will only show you the public IP address of the box doing NAT.
