I might tack your command to my script so that I can have inside and outside IPs. Thanks! That makes sense… we were trying to solve different problems.

I agree that ifconfig will show you the IP, but it's not always the same IP that the external world see. If you're behind a NAT for example, you computer will "think" that it has a certain IP (which was assigned to it by the NAT and identifies it inside the LAN), but if you visit a website, it will see a different IP, which is in the above case the IP assigned by your ISP to the NAT. ifconfig will give you the internal IP, whatismyip is an external site, so it will see you "real" IP. And yes, please send the script to me. My Email appears in the top of the sidebar. Thanks again :) Hi De-Escalate,

You can use sed and grep to get output that only includes the IP, or just to format things more nicely. I made a bash script that does only that, for convenience when I was having trouble with my school's wireless. I'd be happy to send it to you if you would like to take a look at it.
