Router External IP address resolution...
-
Are there any good articles or resources available for resolving the external IP address of a router from an internal computer. I have a computer that is using 192.168.0.x and I want to know the external IP address of the router that is located on the same network. I have looked at the System.Net namespace, and it appears to have a very limited functionality for IP address querying, unless I'm missing something. Thanks in advance!

Unless your router has a specific means of requesting that information (I know of none that do) you have to go outside the WAN and come back in. There's several sites out that perform this like http://www.talkswitch.com/wap/checkip.php[^], http://www.historians.org/HistoryCoop/IPCheck.cfm[^] or http://ip.discoveryvip.com/[^] PeterRitchie.com
