ip addy

i know you can get the wan ip from something like whatismy ip.com
my question is can i get it from the command line.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

If you are using windows and want to know your own IP, you can simply type in ipconfig /all

Curious if there was a command to get the wan ip maybe from a dos command.
the only way i know how is whatismyip.com
Just wondering if a dos command exist that would do this.
then again its not a biggie.

its for ftp and and remote software.

like he said,

ipconfig /all

to release it

ipconfig /release

to renew it

ipconfig /renew

it goes on and on

It is not DOS commands, they are shell commands from the windows command line. Also, that will not display your WAN IP, if you go to whatismyip.com it will display your WAN IP.

If you are looking at keeping track of dynamic IPs, I suggest you look into something like dyndns.org and use their software to track your IP dynamically.

Do a tracert and watch when it starts hitting non local addresses.
