Hi,
Depending on how good the ISP is, they can setup the router host name i.e. theclientsrouter.thereisp.com and have there DNS'S resolve the host to whatever the router's public IP is at the time. It does take some setting up, and a fixed IP is a better way of doing it, especially if security is taken into account.

>>>You are always there to help. I needed to know the public IP that the IPS assigns to the router. Since this IP is dynamic I wanted to know when it changes. The local IP will not help in this situation. Take a look at the other response to my thread. This is a very cool way of getting at the public IP address assigned to the router.
