Hi,
my Mac (using OS X 10.2.4) is behind a router, and I would like to
know if there is any way to get my WAN address (programmaticaly or
not)?
You might be able to use SNMP to gather information about the router
from the Mac OS X system. That's about the only way I know. There are
security issues with this, so I doubt that the router lets you do that
without some change in configuration.
An alternative approach involves a serial link and masquerading as a
user at a terminal, sending command-line queries to a serial port on
the router, if it has such a thing; or possibly the same kind of
arrangement via telnet.
It all depends on what the router offers. There is no API on Mac OS X
that is guaranteed to work.

Justin
