what please is the command, to find the Dynamic DNS Number, assigned to me today by my ISP ?

I guess: "ifconfig"

and look for inet addr: x.x.x.x

normally you should look for the inet address under eth0.

hope that helps, mj

In addition, if you have an ADSL connection you might need to look at the route administration page to see which address has been assigned. I use a NetGear wireless hub and that uses http://192.168.0.1 from it's web based administration.

- Thanks, but it does not yet seem to work for me

Proper command is; #/sbin/ifconfig minus the pound sign of course.

Gibson Research Corporation http://www.grc.com/default.htm

- their "Shields UP" can immediately show ones current Internet connection address

- What is the Linux command to achieve this result please?

thanks

Here's a command I use.  It require you to have Lynx installed. lynx -dump http://checkip.dyndns.org|grep IP

If you want to get fancy and have a pop up box with your IP, use this script (assuming you're running KDE).

#! /bin/sh kdialog --msgbox "$(lynx --dump "http://checkip.dyndns.org/")"

There is a potential gotcha here. If you are running a local proxy
server you will tend to get the local IP address. So make sure you are
connecting to the DynDNS site directly

Go to

http://www.dyndns.com/account/index.html

login in with your details...

Select manage services...

You will see a list of host services...

select the Dynamic DNS entry under DNS services for the host you are
interested in...

This will give the currently resolved address and the address you are
connecting to the page from...
