How do they > do it? they rely on an external site. :) 1) use dyndns.org client on your linux box and then never have to worry what your ip is. 2) You could use www.whatismyip.com and grep and sed for the ip. I guess that site is pretty reliable.. not very elegant, but this should work. wget www.whatismyip.com -o /dev/null && \ grep 'displaycopy' index.html | \ sed "s/displaycopy('\([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\).*/\1/" - -- /phil -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) iD8DBQFCeq2ZGbd/rBLcaFwRAvSNAKCFs/qoCqcHcZ4s1tKUOdRkwvW4zgCffGP9 uyABQYdMC7TqwR3eFts5Xtg= =gzn/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
