- PsychoPops - 02-15-2004 I am behind a router, so when I use netmonitor it gives me my internal IP, and I'm wondering if there is a way I can add my external IP to my TLB - whether by using a script or a plugin. I used to use CoolMon, but now TLB seems to handle everything I want to see except for the option to view my external IP. ??? Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. - Yuri Kobets - 02-15-2004 This is possible by using Weather Monitor. I'll try to make provider and skin. - PsychoPops - 02-15-2004 I have a external.vbs script that I use for coolmon and I thought I might be able to use it through the weather monitor but not quite sure how Id go about it. So I would really appreciate you getting a provider and skin thaat would be bitchen. Thanks Yuri - HorusUK - 02-15-2004 If you're running a local web server, post the ip address to a web page and then parse it with Weather Monitor. I use this method to get additional information for some of my WM based skins... - PsychoPops - 02-16-2004 Well Im not running a web server but I do run an ftp and do alot of gaming and my external ip changes occasionally so I like to keep it on my desktop cause Im lazy and that is what I used coolmon for but Im trying to stop using that program cause TLB does everything. I do know two providers that do this one is http://www.whatismyip.com and the other is http://checkip.dyndns.org/ but I add one to the url section in weather monitor and it doesnt work so I am doing something wrong or it needs a proper skin not sure - HorusUK - 02-16-2004 OK, how about zipping up what you've got so far and let me see what I can do. I'll PM you my email address. I've looked at both the webpages and they seem fine! - PsychoPops - 02-16-2004 Thanks HorusUK I got your PM and emailed you the zip hope you have more luck then I have - HorusUK - 02-16-2004 OK, I can see what's needs to be done! I need to know what style you have in mind? Do you have a themed desktop I could use as a reference? Let me know, and I'll set to work! - PsychoPops - 02-16-2004 I emailed you a pic of my current toolbar HourusUk so you could get an idea. Much appreciated for your help - HorusUK - 02-18-2004 OK. Here's what I've made: It's a skin that uses Weather Monitor, and as I got two different results from http://www.whatismyip.com and http://checkip.dyndns.org/ (my real IP, and my cable NAT), I've included a zip inside the attached ZIP file with provider files for both of them. Have fun, and hope it helps! - PsychoPops - 02-18-2004 HorusUK You Da Man that is just too cool I cannot thank you enough. Thanks alot I got up and working great - HorusUK - 02-18-2004 Glad I could help!
