805609 2009-08-31 03:49:00 Hey all,

So I've got two internet connections on this LAN at work. I want a quick & easy way to switch between them so I've written:

@ECHO OFF
echo Changing to Orcon (Main) connection - 172.31.3.1
route change 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 172.31.3.1 metric 25
netsh interface ip set dns name="Local Area Connection" source=static addr=172.31.3.2
netsh interface ip add dns name="Local Area Connection" addr=208.67.222.222
pause

However, what I also want is a quick & easy way for it to display my public-IP from http://checkip.dyndns.org in the command window / batch script, so that I can be assured the change has gone through.

Is there an easy way to do this, short of opening the browser window?

Cheers

Even if I went about it another way, getting the public-facing IP Address ...?

Thanks
