getmyip - IP Address Utility

New utility in your administration toolkit:

• simple
• easy to use
• extra small
• for almost all operating systems

The program getmyip is a command line utility showing you the Internet Address (IP Address) of your computer.
It allows you quickly resolve various network issues, especially if your server assigns IP addresses dynamically.
You can simply call getmyip from the console, or use it in complex scripts and batch files.

getmyip is easy to use:

easy to install:
