I use IP2 from http://keir.net/software.html
It displays the local IP of the computer it is run on, and at the same
time queries one of a list of servers that returns the WAN IP of the
router. It's only one of several small utilities from that page that I
use. Check out Hash 1.03 while you're there.<G> The programs are free
and are ad-free also. No malware.

You download the zip file and unzip it to your hd. You must create a
shortcut for it and place it where you can click on it. There's no
install program as such.

So does mine - it's still easy to do in Perl (of course you will need to
put the router password in the script). If the script was already in
circulation, how would it be able to know each router's web page output ?

The IP echoing sites (as perviously mentioned and ignored) easily get
around that if that's all you need.
