Obtain WAN IP from router

[Charlie Tame]

I've looked at a few examples and think I can work with one of them but just
wondering if anyone has already done similar.

Router = Microsoft wired base station.

It has a web page config system which has one text box to enter a password.
It will be hard coded so no need for anything fancy to communicate with it.
Unless there's a command to get the IP from the router that doesn't involve
the web interface at all I will have to send this password and then look at
the default page to get the IP address back.

No security issues etc, I just want to fetch the IP, check for changes and
maybe display it with a warning when it changes, at the same time hopefully
learning something :)

TIA for any links or hints you think might be useful.

Can you connect to the router via telnet?

Apparently not, good idea though I had not thought of that.

I have seriously searched for some info on this machine but it's just not
out there as far as I can see.
Microsoft Telnet> open 192.168.2.1
Connecting To 192.168.2.1...Could not open connection to the host, on port
23: Connect failed
Microsoft Telnet>

Maybe this isn't the best way to do it anyway ? :)
