So stop the stupid replys and more of the useful one like 2 posts back!
Aside from your own posts, I've only seen 1 at-all-"stupid" reply. And even that was a sardonic reply to this bit of biting-the-hand-that-feeds:

I need it for a support bit of software - i must have there WAN IP , however thats not the point you dont need to know *WHY* , just somebody please tell me *HOW*!
You've presupposed that getting the WAN IP of your host is the only possible solution to the problem you're trying to solve. A smart programmer realizes there are often many solutions of varying quality, and by exposing the *WHY*, he won't write off any -- quite possibly better -- alternatives.
Given that a WAN IP alone is worthless (for reasons Antheus was then kind enough to list, even after your snapping at him), it follows that you almost certainly wanted either an alternative you've not considered, or something more than just the WAN IP address. Answering *WHY* fills us in enough to be able to help with *EITHER*.
Since Antheus seems to have managed to goad the answer out of you for this thread, this is mainly just meant as advice for future posts -- pointing out why answering *WHY?* is usually a good idea. It'll also prevent some "stupid" replies from happening in the first place. Win-win situation!
