[OT]How can I get my IP Address

[CoMiKe]

Theorically, if you know the MAC Address of the network adapter which is connected to the Internet, then you may be able to get it's IP address by using an inverse ARP tool (inARP).

The problem is that Windows (at least XP) only has an ARP tool, but it doesn't seem to have an inverse ARP tool. And it doesn't seem easy to find an inverse ARP tool...

Any luck with netstat /?

Just give a try to ShowIP (505,037b)
You can find it here : http://www.webattack.com/freeware/network/fwip.html
Or better
FollowMeIP Lite (155,648b)

Here's another possibility to execute a command with each IP returned by the tracert command (in this case, just ECHO):

Code: Select all

FOR /F "tokens=4 delims=ms" %%A IN ('tracert -d -h 3 www.yatras.be ^|findstr "ms"') DO (ECHO %%A)

remplace %%A by %A if executed from the console. %%A is used inside a batch.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

Instead of tracert try WinMTR.

Unfortunately it's not reliable. When I hangup it still reports a working connection.

If you run a security check through GRC,

Can't be used from commandline to retrieve the IP.

Found no equivalent in AHK and don't want to run another Scripting App.

Can't be used on command line

nice tool. Unfortunately I have a fli4l Router that cannot be accessed by this tool (or at least I don't know how to configure it). Anyway, it seems not to be able to give me the IP on command line.

Good attempt but I also found no ARP tool.

Any luck with netstat /?

Nope.

2Vansumsen
Nice tools, both, but nothing for the command line,too.


So after all I stick with tracert. I'm running already a script that logs my connection and reports every drop (at least I hope so ).

So thanks again, guys, it will do for now.

The purpose of this tool is to permanently traceroute your connection and to reveal the problematic route entry.
Of course it continues tracerouting even when you "hangup".

Sheepdog,
You could also download http://www.whatismyip.org/ and parse it.

You could also download http://www.whatismyip.org/ and parse it.

But how is the easiest way to open this url and parse it from command line?

Well, probably using a combination of URLDownloadToFile, Loop/FileRead and FileDelete.
