A small script that will grab your external IP address from whatismyip.com. Useful if you need to communicate your IP address with someone for any reason, such as setting up a server for gaming or other purposes.

UPDATE v1.1: Sorry about the wait all, it works again :)
Usage: /showip

This doesn't seem to work for me. The script didn't show the right one, I know what it is becuase i set it up with my router. I also checked my IP in my system prefs and it was what it should be, and not what the script said. I do like the idea of the script though, just a few bugs i guess.

Zaco: The script shows your IP address as the rest of the internet (anything outside your network/router) sees it. This is known as your external IP address, and yes, you are correct: it is not the same as your internal IP address (the one being reported to you by the system prefs). So it's not actually a bug. I suppose I could write an addition to show your internal IP address. Perhaps I will in the future ;)

Is there a way to get the IP of the person you're chatting with? I'm aware of so-called "IP Sniffers", but haven't found any for the Mac platform.

Until you directly connect with a person their IP is not available to you. You are connected to a server for whatever client you are using that relays all your messages to the person they are intended for. If you want to see all the IP addresses your computer is connected to type "netstat -n" in Terminal.app.

this is pretty useful, but it would be better if i could se the ip of the person i chat with..

I used to use whatismyip.com so, so I really appreciate this.

Of course, now that I'm back at school it seems I have a static ip, but when I graduate, it'll be awesome again.

on very special and highly secure networks this doesn't work
i see the ip address after the nat server but not the external because i'm after 2 nat servers or more

I get a "is" instead of an ip-address. Maybe you grab the wrong word from www.whatismyip.com? :)

Is there a way to get a buddy's IP?

# by on 03/16/05 at 17:32:52

Beakid: thanks, I noticed that too. I'll post an update later today.
snarfer2007: No, there isn't.

it would be cool if you could call it with something more question-based, like whenis{date}
