-If you're having a particularly tough time trying to worm any useful information out of your router's regularly available configs, you can always fall back on hosting a PHP script on your webserver and using it to feed your WAN IP back to you.  This particular script gives output in the same format as http://checkip.dyndns.org - so tools designed to work with it will work with this, and vice versa.  The parse code for '''set-ddns.pl''' included after the script is the same as that in the article, but it's included anyway below the CGI version of this IP fetcher, just so nobody gets confused.
