Dynamic IP Addressing over Ethernet

by Edgar F. Hilto » Mon, 05 Feb 1996 04:00:00

Hi! Is there a way to dynamically determine my IP address (like in
Slip,PPP,Plip) when using an ethernet connection? FAQs, Bible, and a
few other documents did not seem to help. BOOTP is the term that comes
to mind, but how? Any other sources of documentation on this anywhere?

HELP!

1. dynamic ip address - how to get to know my ip address?

Hi there,

my ISP provides me with a dynamic ip address. I'm using a wireless LAN
router made by SMC to connect to the internet. I want to get to know the
public ip address from a computer that is located in the local network
behind the router's firewall. But, of course, the router's NAT replaces the
public ip address with the local one.

How do I get to know the public ip address the ISP gave me?

Currently, I'm not using Linux. But I consider to set up a Linux box that
will be accessible from the internet. I guess, this problem is not
platform-dependent. Unfortunately, my router does not have a telnet
interface or any other interface that would provide me with the public ip
address. Only, if login to the web interface manually, I can see the current
status including the current ip address.

Can I solve this problem with standard TCP/IP tools? "ping" does not give
any evidence -- I was sniffing with Ethereal to miss no information.

Do I need help from an external system that can tell me my ip address? Is
there a service, I can use?

Thanks in advance,

Johannes
