Obtaining the public IP of a computer...

[Andre Garzia]

Paul,

I am just saying from my own humble opinion here. I think there might
be a way to query the underlining operating system for the IPs but it
will not be cross platform but if you are behind routers, switches,
nats and so on, I don't think you will ever be able to guess the
public IP unless something on the other side of the switch tells you.

Someone will know more but there might be some unix utility that you
can shell() to some known server and see your ip floating by...
