External IP address in tray

[Reeve]

Hello guys,

Any of you know about an app to show my external/internet IP address in the system tray? I've been looking for a simple one but no luck.

Ideas?

I know what you mean so where the language bar is if you have one on the task bar would be a little box with external ip address and it refeshes when it changes. Im sure its possible cause you can see external ip address if you type ipconfig into command prompt. Grab that line and put it in the box is all the program would need to do.

Sorry, not quite sure what you're talking about.

ipconfig cannot display the external IP on a normal home network, though.

EDIT: Well, technically, it cannot display any external IP at all, because it only has interface to see the IP assigned to the network interfaces on said computer. Meaning the only "external" IP it could see would be IPv6 (though, not really external, 'cause there is no internal IPv6 IP if you're connected to the internet).

System Monitor Gadget shows external IP on sidebar.
