IP address in CLI
Just popping in

Hi

Which command do i use to get the external and internal IP address of the current system.

For example my internal IP address may be 192.168.0.3

external could be 8.159.79.108

How can i get the internal and external IP addresses returned in the CLI.

I imagine doing in in C would be a nightmare :(.

Shownetstatus gives the internal IP address

Routers probably give this information (external IP) only after a login.

Use SysMon (os4depot), shows you all "typicall" system data, network data, including external IP

Internal like JosDuchit say:

Quote:

6/10.RAM Disk:> shownetstatus | grep Local
Local host address = 192.168.1.6 (on interface 'interface')


External : use wget or curl and access to some page which will return back your external ip, like this:

Quote:

6/2.RAM Disk:> wget http://wtfismyip.com/text -O - -q ; echo
95.54.96.122


There is many services which will give you external ip back (for example also ipecho.net, ifconfig.me, etc). Some of them always down, some so popular that flooded all the time and slow. But that one on example at least works right now.

From CLI ? I specifically asked for CLI so I can reuse the IP address in an application.

I know of wget / curl, but did not want to use too many reliance of other tools.

I was hoping for a command like :

IP -showinternalip
192.168.0.3

IP -showexternalip
21.109.49.208

I had hoped we had mature internet tools :(

ShowNetStatus IS the command.

use this to get just the local IP address:

cut "`shownetstatus`" w=16

> cut "`shownetstatus`" w=16
192.168.1.101

Note: use use backquotes around shownetstatus.

Another way to use wget to create and envvar would be:

wget http://wtfismyip.com/text -O - -q >env:ExternalIP

same applies for the cut command:

cut "`shownetstatus`" w=16 >env:InternalIP

This is not the recommended way to create envvars but until we get recursive command embedding it will have to do.

It would be nice to be able to do things like:

SetENV InternalIP `cut "`shownetstatus`" w=16`

No tool can show you your external IP address, as your computer has no idea what it is itself - only its own (LAN) one. Only your router (and any external site it contacts) will know what the external IP is.

The only way to do it is how kas1e said - and that goes for all other OS too.

there is the http handler, but I don't think its mounted by default.

using the http handler you should be able download web pages whit out curl/wget.

That's how other systems do it, they just use something like libcurl.so instead of calling curl itself. Part of the reason 'mainstream OS' packages are so big.

NO other OS developer is going to write any code if there is a .so or .dll around that does what they need, no matter how bloated it is and how little of it they will use.

99% of modern software development is all about money not elegance.

Yep:
Quote:
1.> type http://wtfismyip.com/text
xx.xx.xx.xx


But installing that is more work than distributing a copy of curl along with whatever it is that is calling it.

If this is only for personal use however, whatever works and is convenient is the right way.

Ooops, sorry mate.

Think only method we have now is kas1e/Severin posted (or maybe with an ARexx script that uses wget/curl/TCP:).

to summorise everything: you need tosend http req to some external site, to know external ip.

if you want less as possible components involved, you then can do all on C without problems: you fill ip and tcp structs, and via sock-send-recv functions grab the answer. the only problem, is those public sites which give you info about your external ip (they offten down, slow and co). if you need example on C i can cook one.
