Hi,
just for fun I wanna share this oneliner which prints you the external IP on the screen 
require 'net/http'
Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse('http://www.wieistmeineip.de')).body.scan(/^Ihre IP-Adresse ist.+/) { |ipadresse| puts ipadresse.sub(/^.+">/,'').sub(/<.+$/,'') }
greets
Interesting. I expected my code to be equivalent, but it gives a different answer:
$ ruby -r resolv -e 'p Resolv.getaddress("http://www.wieistmeineip.de")'
"212.19.62.76"

If I may translate: the German parts into English:
Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse('http://www.whatismyip.com')).body.scan(/^Your WAN IP is.+/) { |ipadresse| puts ipadresse.sub(/^.+">/,'').sub(/<.+$/,'') }
The one liner resolves your external IP with the help of an external service.
A hint for mrpink: German is not widely spoken beyond Germany, Austria and Swiss, so it's a good idea to translate your output.

Duplicate effort is inevitable. Live with it.
lol my output prints a plain IP-adress on the screen and nothing else and you're code is of course not working because you conducted my regular expression with an output string muahhh 
Wow, I am dumb today. Thanks for helping me to actually read the email I responded to.

Release early, release often. Clean compilation is optional.
One of these is a joke!
