Special Forums IP Networking How to get IP of computer assigned by DHCP? Post 302883469 by Corona688 on Tuesday 14th of January 2014 10:47:53 AM

If you're looking for the external IP, yes, dynamic DNS is a good way to do this. You can use a free DNS service like no-ip.com, to host a URL like mycomputer.bounceme.net, and run an updater client on your computer to keep mycomputer.bounceme.net pointing to the correct IP. There might be an occasional bit of lag between IP and DNS but it's pretty good for the most part. This is how we manage our crummy ISP's IP at work.

Of course, nothing's going to work if your computer's asleep!

Net::DNS::RR::TXT(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				      Net::DNS::RR::TXT(3)

NAME
Net::DNS::RR::TXT - DNS TXT resource record SYNOPSIS
use Net::DNS; $rr = new Net::DNS::RR( 'name TXT txtdata ...' ); $rr = new Net::DNS::RR( name => 'name', type => 'TXT', txtdata => 'single text string' ); $rr = new Net::DNS::RR( name => 'name', type => 'TXT', txtdata => [ 'multiple', 'strings', ... ] ); use utf8; $rr = new Net::DNS::RR( 'jp TXT XXXXXXXXXXXX' ); DESCRIPTION
Class for DNS Text (TXT) resource records. METHODS
The available methods are those inherited from the base class augmented by the type-specific methods defined in this package. Use of undocumented package features or direct access to internal data structures is discouraged and could result in program termination or other unpredictable behaviour. txtdata $string = $rr->txtdata; @list = $rr->txtdata; $rr->txtdata( @list ); When invoked in scalar context, txtdata() returns the descriptive text as a single string, regardless of the number of elements. In a list context, txtdata() returns a list of the text elements. COPYRIGHT
