I guess that the mentioned site http://vbnet.mvps.org/resources/tools/getpublicip.shtml
will be "live" a long time, but if this site will die it is quite easy to make the same.

Just check my the similar page:
http://www.js-software.eu/tellmemyip.php

This page has only one line of code:

<?php
echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
?>

This will return the only line of text with your outer IP.

Have a nice day!
