My local computer has a fixed url address in the 192.168.etc series which does not change.This allows me to access my router. My router in turn connects to my internet modem which works with my internet provider,in my case comcast.net. This latter connection is DHCP I am pretty sure. > > The first question is, how do I sniff out this last internet address? I presume it stays constant until I have a power failure or other interruption, in which case I would have to sniff it out again. Nope not necessarily. My cable modem addresses changes even though my system is typically up for years. You could have your machine go to an outside machine and read the IP from there. > > The second question is, given knowledge of this internet address, how do I give the outside world access to it?
