How to know WAN address from inside of LAN ?

[surnj1]

Hi,

I am looking for any trick or application that shows me my router's WAN IP address from any of the PCs' connected to that router without using router config utility(i.e.192.168.1.1)

Thanks in advance for any help.

errr.... daver,

tracert in WinXP will show the LAN IP address, then the next hop is the ISP's gateway router. WAN IP address of router is never shown.

I live in Linux and depending upon whether the WAN endpoints are IP'd or not (sometimes the ISP builds the WAN using NO IPs!) I normally get the endpoints.

Try tracerouting to a foreign address ex) tracert

http://www.microsoft.com

as an example. The second hop would be your router's WAN address

jpm121 is CORRECT!
The second one is the ISP Gateway.

That said,

is no garantee either, it can give you a false IP.

An easy foolproof one is to send yourself an email and look at the header for the originating IP.
