From: Halfix NB on 16 Jan 2010 05:50 What is the best way to find out the external IP address of a computer that is behind a router, modem, firewall, hub, etc... ? I know there are websites such as whatismyip.com, but is there some way to do this without hitting a website that I have no control over and don't know who runs it... etc. ? Do ISPs offer a service for finding out one's external ISP? If not, they should...

Then type ipconfig /all to display your network config http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490921.aspx

Which has naught to do with the OP's question.

I'm not understanding you. Services such as this work. What is your problem with them? Do you think they fiddle the results? Why would they do that? All they do is turn around the REMOTE_ADDR variable in your browser request. A variable that is available to *every* website that you visit. > Do ISPs offer a service for finding out one's external ISP? If not, they > should... Why should they? No-one would use such a service when services such as whatismyip.com work fine.
