How to return Server IP

[Anon]

Im running a small website off IIS 5 in winXP off dsl with dynamic IP, not static.....is there any way to get my net IP (i use a router, that might complicate things...) so that I can use a link correctly? It links to a certain port on my IP, not a file, so I need my IP to do it correctly. Email me if you got any ideas. Thx

Quick and dirty you could create a php file on a remote machine that captures and echos the ip of visitors. Then just browse to that site anytime you need to know what your ip is.
ex:

echo "$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR']";

Alternately you could download various keep-alive programs. I think most of them have a mechanism to retrieve your external routable ip address.

Also alternately consider a dynamic DNS service such as www.TZO.com (costs) or www.whyi.org (free)

they keep track of your IP for you so you could just browse to:

yourname.yi.org:8080 for example. Whenever you want to.
