You could try using the "route print" command as well. i.e. Maybe something like: route print |expand |sed -n -e "s,.* $(route print|expand|sed -n -e 's,[.],[.],g' -e 's,^Default Gateway: *,,p') *\([0-9][0-9.]*\) *[0-9][0-9]*,\\1,p" But if you are behind a NAT, that probably won't give you what you really want either... A more elegant solution is to use dynamic dns. For example I use the following script run from my crontab: #!/bin/sh cd /tmp;exec wget --delete-after http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?KSD1ADSFLIjkseS11Dc= This automatically updates a dynamic DNS on afraid.org. Then even when I'm connected via WIFI across two separate NAT routers, I can still use my dynamic DNS name.
