To find out your current IP address "automatically", just open a web-browser to http://www.whatismyipaddress.com. Then just tell that number to someone trying to connect with you, and you'll soon be connected. To supplement that functionality, in situations such as I believe Frank was asking about, where he is not at the machine he wants to connect to, one could use: wget -O mypresentIP http://www.whatismyipaddress.com and have the file 'mypresentIP' mailed to yourself periodically. (Of course this procedure is a bit redundant, since the mail headers themselves should contain your Internet-routable address. But some folks like complexity...) ;) -Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
