Plusnet users - What Gateway programme released
in [UK Mac]
|
From: Jim on 6 Feb 2010 05:03 I've written a wee programme (10.5 or above) that simply tells you what gateway you're connected to. It can be found at: <http://www.ursaminorbeta.co.uk/gateway.zip> and the source code at: <http://www.ursaminorbeta.co.uk/gatewaySource.zip> and I hope Plusnet don't mind me, er, 'borrowing' their logo..:-) Consider it released under Creative Commons. Please let me know if it gives unusual or just plain incorrect results. It basically works by running a traceroute to 'www.plus.net', then finding the first item in the list that contains 'plus.net', then taking the 2nd element of the '.' separated string.

Essentially it's just running a traceroute and trying to find the gateway entry by taking the first string after the first '.' Looks like I need a re-think. Could you post an example traceroute to www.plus.net?
