Hi chaps
Does anyone know of a command line tool that can return the external IP of the
machine it's run on? I need to run a script on some machines and need to note
the external IP.

Stolen from another website, but this seems to work OK:
Create a file named ip.vbs and copy the following into it:
Option Explicit
Dim http : Set http = CreateObject( MSXML2.ServerXmlHttp )
http.Open GET, http://whatismyip.org;, False
http.Send
Wscript.Echo http.responseText 'or do whatever
Here's a little Powershell script to accomplish the same thing and write the
result out to a history file. I've used this via a scheduled task on my
home machine to track when my FIOS ip changes.
$url = http://whatismyip.org/;
$wc = new-object system.net.webclient
$data = $wc.DownloadData($url)

Yep. DYNDNS.ORG is great. You can also use ZoneEdit and others.

I just use a dynamic DNS service which always resolves me
of traffic on
my machine and decides to change my IP. Too bad I've figured out a
work-around. :D

There's a Win32 port, pretty lean. I use it all the time.
