Does anyone know of a program that will let you find the IP address of a
broadband modem connected via router? I know I can view the web server in
the router and view the status tab, but I'd like to be able to double click
a program on my desktop and see the ip address of the modem. Something like
WNTIPCFG.EXE for XP.

Not me, but you could install wget to fetch the web server page and
use some script language, like perl, to parse the page and display the
contents you desire. Both are free for download for Windoze.
I run Mandriva Linux myself.

I use wget to pull my cable modem page and parse the signal values
with perl to warn me when cable modem values are outside my normal
values.

I also wrote a bash script to parse the DHCP values to warn me of
short lease times which usually happens when they are doing network
maintence work and tell me when my gateway/DNS servers change value.

There are many web sites that will tell you exactly what IP address
you're coming from.

Google is your friend.

Wow..how insightful. Nice to see that you really took the time to grasp the
essence of my post. Google? Sheesh, never in a million years would I have
thought of that. You go girl!

I thought it was a prety good response. There are sites that will
just echo the IP you are calling from (which would end up being your
modem's IP). Here's just one: http://www.whatismyip.com/
