Does anybody know this is done?

Thanks,

Most likely, "ifconfig ppp0"

"Device Not Found".  I am connecting to the net through a network card
through a Linksys DSL router.  I don't know if that changes anything.

Then use:

        ifconfig eth0

or more generally:

        ifconfig        # to see all network devices that are up
        ifconfig -a     # to see all network devices

No, that gives me the LAN IP.  I am looking to get the IP of internet
connection, like if an outside machine wanted to connect to it.

If your connecting through a LinkSys router, then I would think you need to
use its web interface or telnet into this device and find out what IP
address was assigned to the WAN interface.

This is an essential need for anyone using Dynamic DNS, as you may know.
There are some useful tools on the dynamic DNS sites that may help. E.g.
from http://www.dyndns.org I found a link to http://checkip.dyndns.org/
that provides what you want. Visit it in your browser and it will return
your external IP address. You can write a script using lynx to visit
this site and parse the IP address out of the page it returns.

Hope this helps!

Hi!,

Visiting any site that returns the IP address you are connecting from should
solve the problem.  If you telnet or connect into any system as well from your
Linux box, you should see the IP address (proper IP address) that you are
coming from.

See ya

Go into  the "Status" page on the router configuration page (using your
browser). Look for the "WAN" IP address.

Or put you computer in the "DMZ" and go to www.whatismyipaddress.com. You'll
have to disable any proxy you might be using with your browser first.
