Hi,

How do I find out what's the dynamic IP I get when connected
to my ISP? I'm not broadband BTW.

Thanks.

Regards,

Daniel

How do you connect? Is your computer connected directly to your ISP
connection? Assuming it is Linux box then:

/sbin/ifconfig

will show the IP addresses assigned to your network interfaces.

If you are connecting through a router of some sort (like the Linksys,
Netgear, etc) routers, then you'll have to connect to it and see what
address it got.

I use "www.whatsmyip.org", I have NAT at home, and the
"far side" of my DSL modem is a private class-A address
(10.0.something.something), so it's useful to have a utility
that cuts through the crap.

Of course, it does require that you have a working
web browser. If you (or I) were clever, we'd probably
do some tricky tracert thing.

Thanks, tried the URL and it worked. ifconfig on the other hand showed
my internal IP rather.

ddclient can parse html to read your external IP address from your
router's status page. I don't know if there's a clean way to use that
functionality independently of ddclient itself.

I can see that you're running behind a router or something similar. If you
want to use a shell script to return the IP to the stdout, you could
probably use 'curl'.

1- If you don't have curl, you would have to install it:

[sudo] apt-get install curl

2- Get one of these sites that return your external IP (You know no site
like this? just google "what is my IP", without quotes) and create a shell
command. See my example:

$ curl http://www.ip-adress.com/ | grep "My IP: "

Test it and then you put it in a shell script and you're done.

Cheers,

Rafael

I have this feeling that my last response to this thread never made it through
or something.

curl *definitely* works with shell scripts, and like I pointed out,
www.whatismyip.org (not .com) is specifically designed for tools such as
curl. Running that URL as the argument for curl will return only the current
machine's public IP address, with no extra formatting or HTML messiness.
Thus, it is the ideal way of getting this output cleanly. It can even be used
as input, e.g.:
nmap $(curl www.whatismyip.org)

To which package links2 belongs. How to find out for any command?

Usually, I rely mostly on my imagination :-) I guess it is links2
package and try finding such in aptitude using "/" and enter "links2".

To be precise, I use apt-file command with grep.

$ apt-file search links2 |grep -e '/links2$'
....

I's try to hack together the above script with wget as it may be on more
system.

Debian has an awesome search utility at
<http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages>. At the bottom of the
page, there's a "Search the contents of packages" tool, which will
tell you what package a given file comes from.

Alternatively, if you have the Debian-installed Konqueror,
you can use "deb:<packagename>" to find packages (but not
files in packages).

You can also also use the shortcut
"http://packages.debian.org/file:<tail>" to find packages
containing files that end with <tail>.

+1. Please also check out apt-file and dlocate (for installed
packages); they are invaluable in quick searching if you do not have
internet access at all times.

One can also donwload the file
http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian/dist...ntents-i386.gz
(change with your mirror, distribution and architecture)
and grep in that file:
zgrep bin/links2 ~/ftp.it.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian4.0r3/Contents-i386.gz
usr/bin/links2 net/links2

For installed packages, one can also grep /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list

One more tip which was not mentioned. 'dpkg -S file-on-system' will
return the package containing that file. It works only for installed
packages, but is (much) faster than apt-file.

Andrei

My imagination tells me that in order to find program 'whatever', I'll
first try:

apt-cache search whatever

$ apt-cache search links2
links2 - Web browser running in both graphics and text mode

$ apt-cache search debuild
devscripts - Scripts to make the life of a Debian Package maintainer easier
devscripts-el - Emacs wrappers for the commands in devscripts
pbuilder - personal package builder for Debian packages
