IP address question

[Maim]

I'm running a few machines hooked up to a linux firewall/nat server. On occasion, I like hosting a game, and I have setup several port forewarding rules to do so. However, in order to get the external ip (24.xxx.xxx.xxx) from a windows machine, I need to open a browser, login to the web admin and get the ip from there.

Is there a way I may be able to acquire the ip from a batch file run from windows?

Thanks

Does your nat allow you to use a range of ip addresses? If so, you can give that machine an ip outside of that range. This is usually done for servers.

Hi, I'm not sure I understand the response but the IP is dynamically assigned by the ISP, all machines connectd (up to three max) have IPs ranging from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.3, it also has DHCP capability, which I use with my laptop with addresses from 100 to 150.

I'm not sure i understand your problem, but did you try to use a dyndns client? (
