getting IP address of router

[Dave Bour]

Lennart et al
I've a page at my web site that returns both a heading with IP and body with IP too, if that helps. I use it for a couple of apps to get an IP, very easy to parse

Help yourself if you want to use. There are likely hundreds of these out there that will read you your external IP back without anything else

Only someone outside receiving your connection and your router itself,
have any way to detect the ip you are using.  After all the router never
uses the outside IP when talking to you.  Writing a script to parse a
simple webpage is really rather simple for detecting it, although
simplest would be if the router had a webpage (or even a simple port you
could connect to) that just gave you the ip as a string.
