Confused...
But this seems to only return the internal IP address. What if I want the external IP address? My machine sits behind a hardware router; all my internal IPs are "192.168.1.x", but my public IP is provided by AT&T. So when I hit a web site, the actual value returned is my true IP, not the internal-only (obviously) 192 version.
When I tried these commands in my terminal, all that ipconfig getifaddr en0 returned was my "192" address. I don't see any way to pull the public IP from the ipconfig data?
-rob.

You're right, that will give you the local address. If you're behind a firewall and your address is being translated, the only way I can think of to get your address is to make a request out like you did with wget or a similar utility. That's what many dynamic DNS clients do. |
