Get external/public IP address

[Mrozu]

Hi

How I can get external(public) IP address by AxWinSock control?? When I
take

msgbox(axWinsock1.LocalIp) I get 192.168.0.2, because I'm on NAT

Any ideas??

Thx Mrozu

If you have a CGI script on a web server somewhere, you could query that for
the IP address it sees from you.

It isn't your external IP: it belongs to the NAT device.
