Same as with ifconfig, the kernel only knows its local IP. If you're
behind a DSL modem that does NAT, your machine has _NO_ way of knowing the
public IP from local information. You MUST query the modem for the
IP. Some modems have a telnet server (like the Cisco's), most do SNMP,
some have HTTP interfaces. The information's gotta come out of one of
those.
