 |
|
Does anyone know of a program that will let you find the IP address of a
broadband modem connected via router? I know I can view the web server in
the router and view the status tab, but I'd like to be able to double click
a program on my desktop and see the ip address of the modem. Something like
WNTIPCFG.EXE for XP. |

Not me, but you could install wget to fetch the web server page and
use some script language, like perl, to parse the page and display the
contents you desire. Both are free for download for Windoze.
I run Mandriva Linux myself.
I use wget to pull my cable modem page and parse the signal values
with perl to warn me when cable modem values are outside my normal
values.
I also wrote a bash script to parse the DHCP values to warn me of
short lease times which usually happens when they are doing network
maintence work and tell me when my gateway/DNS servers change value. |

There are many web sites that will tell you exactly what IP address
you're coming from.
Google is your friend. |

Does the router support SNMP?

You can easily do it in Perl as well as the wget suggestion. If you have
Perl, I can give you a script to retrieve the web pages (we'll need to
modify it for your particular brand/model).
WG (my config page starts with) :
Config Page
Modem IP 10.22.xx.xx
So it's easy to strip the IP address from the page. If you have a
website out there with CGI, you can easily return any info you like
from the connection made using your browser/Perl/wget. |

On my Linksys, I can drill right to the page that shows the status (i.e.
10.10.10.1/status.htm). The status page does show the cable modem's IP
address. However, that requires a username and password which is cumbersome,
esp. if I don't check the box to save the password. Thanks for your idea. I
will try to script something and see what I can come up with..I was really
hoping for a program that was already in circulation that would do this.
Thanks!

I use IP2 from http://keir.net/software.html
It displays the local IP of the computer it is run on, and at the same
time queries one of a list of servers that returns the WAN IP of the
router. It's only one of several small utilities from that page that I
use. Check out Hash 1.03 while you're there.<G> The programs are free
and are ad-free also. No malware.
You download the zip file and unzip it to your hd. You must create a
shortcut for it and place it where you can click on it. There's no
install program as such.

I thought it was a prety good response. There are sites that will
just echo the IP you are calling from (which would end up being your
modem's IP). Here's just one: http://www.whatismyip.com/ |

So does mine - it's still easy to do in Perl (of course you will need to
put the router password in the script). If the script was already in
circulation, how would it be able to know each router's web page output ?
The IP echoing sites (as perviously mentioned and ignored) easily get
around that if that's all you need. |

Actually, I thought Elmo's suggestion was the simpler one to
implement. Your initial question implies that you want to know your
public (WAN) IP address. You can get that from the router, as you
know, but doing so requires a login/password. You can also do it via
any of a handful of Internet web sites, and in that case no login is
required. It's your choice, but the "no login" option seems a bit
easier in case you've never scripted anything before. If you do have
that experience or are willing to learn a bit, then either way will
work equally well.

I get mine via a simple snmp command:
$ snmp_request 192.168.2.1 public getnext 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.1
1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.1.ww.xx.xx.zz = ww.xx.yy.zz

No. That's the IP address assigned to the CPE connected to the modem. In
my case, it's my router's IP, which can also be found in the headers of
this post.
Because the cablemodem is just a bridge, upstream servers don't need to be
aware of it's IP address, and they do not report it, either. Someone else
mentioned a tool called IP2. This also does not report the modem's IP
address, but reports the IP address of the CPE connected to the modem.
If you have a typical computer -> router -> cablemodem -> Internet
configuration, there are a number of IP addresses involved.
-Your computer will likely have a 192.168.x.x number assigned by the
router.
-Your router will have a 192.168.x.x address that it's known by to the
computers on your LAN.
-Your router, being the CPE, will have an IP address assigned by the cable
network's DHCP server. To the outside world, this is "your IP address".
-The cablemodem has a 192.168.x.x address that can be accessed only from
the CPE side of the cablemodem. This is the address that you use to access
the internal webserver that gives you status and diagnostic information
about the modem.
-The cablemodem also has a 10.x.x.x address that can be accessed from the
cable network. This address is usually only used for troubleshooting and
some administrative purposes that are done by the network admins using
TCP/IP.
If you are looking at a public range IP address that is associated with
you, it is your CPE's IP address, not the cablemodem's IP address. The
cablemodem does not have a public range IP address. It has a class C
private address on the CPE side, and a class A private range address on
the network side. And you're not going to be able to get that address from
upstream servers, as they don't care about the IP address of a bridge on
the way to the CPE.

The question was how to get the address. Whether or not you think SNMP
is crap is irrelevant. SNMP has been incorporated into most networking
equipment -- crap or otherwise -- and is a useful way to obtain statis-
tics and information from the device.
