There are several websites that will "reflect" your IP address (whatsmyip.org, whatismyipaddress.com, auditmypc.com/whats-my-ip.asp, showipaddress.com, and even things like secure order pages, etc). You can even get this info from some MediaWikis if you're not logged in: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/query.php?what=userinfo&format=txt However, all these pages return lots of extra junk, not to mention HTTP headers, etc. Is there a "minimal" IP address reflector where I could maybe telnet to a port on a given host and see my IP? Something like the daytime service [port 13] NIST offers for the current time (or time [port 37] service for binary data): > telnet time-a.nist.gov daytime Trying 129.6.15.28... Connected to time-a.nist.gov. Escape character is '^]'. 54309 07-07-28 16:59:56 50 0 0 523.2 UTC(NIST) * Connection closed by foreign host. only for IP addresses? I realize I could write one myself, but am looking for an existing service. -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology.
