getting IP address of router

[jim ruxton]

Thanks Jason,
This article says I have to run a script on a machine in a box outside
my router ie. on the net and a  script on my box within the router's
domain. I think parsing the results from myip.dk will be simpler. Also
if I can get traceroute to work it will simplify things.
