Determining IP address?

Need to determine the IP address of the Alcatel Speed Touch adsl modem
attached to my system. How do I do it?

If you are posting through that modem, would not the IP address in
the header of your post be the ip address?

maybe something like
ping -c 1 winax21-249.dialup.optusnet.com

Is your problem that your local IP is a 192.168.x.x address and you want
the "outside world's" address of the modem?

If the modem is a router and has a web-accessable configuration status
page (e.g., via http://192.168.0.1 or something) then look at the "wget"
command. This captures the content of a web page and you can wrap it in
a small shell script to pluck out just the IP address bit. (no pun etc.)

`ipaddr -i ppp0'
or like Bit posted: `ifconfig ppp0'

Do you mean something like: http://www.whatismyip.com/ ?

Hi,

ifconfig executed as root should tell you. I think the device is called 'ppp0'.
