Hi Shannon,
The best solution I could think off is to use a web service ethat will
tell you what your public facing IP address is. One service I found
through Google is
http://www.whatismyip.com/faq/automation.asp
I think it would be much easier to do this, than find a way to get it
off your router.

Subject: [WEB400] Determine IP Address of Router
Hi,
I have an iSeries (i5, iBM I, AS/400.etc.) behind a cable modem. The
cable modem is what connects me to the internet and serves as the
initial firewall and as the network router.
Ever so often the IP address of the modem/router changes. That is.if a
power outage occurs or other things happen beyond my control.the IP
address of the cable modem changes.
I am trying to think of a way I can determine, from my IBM I (As/400,
iSeries, i5, etc.), what the new IP address of that cable modem is.
I was trying to think if maybe there might be a PHP or java solution
that I could call from the iSeries to poll that cable modem to retrieve
the current outside IP address.
Any suggestions on how to accomplish that or if it is even possible?
Thanks!
Shannon O'Donnell
