I don't think there's a magic answer for this one. Generally your router =
will keep its external IP to itself unless you can directly query it, =
which is unlikely for security reasons. There are two ways around this I =
can think of:
1. If you have access to a (external) web server, you could access a web =
script page via IE automation, get the script to pick up the external IP =
and write it to a page you can access, then read the page contents back =
from VFP again with IE automation.
2. Get a static IP for your router.
Option 1 isn't too difficult with some knowledge of ASP/PHP/Perl, etc. =
I've done this and it works OK. Option 2 works better.
HTH,
