What's the LAST IP address I used when I was connected to the Internet (PPPoE, NAT)
I just want to know the last IP address I used, whether or not I'm currently on the Internet, on Windows XP. I'm sure there is a log of this somewhere. What's the best way to get my last assigned PPPoE IP address when I'm behind a router and I'm not currently connected to the Internet?
While connected to the Internet, I know I can go to http://whatsmyipaddressto find the IP address from behind the router - and I know that IP address will show up in this nntp header - but I am curious if there is a way to determine the IP address shown to the Internet without actually going out to the Internet.
Why?
Because I often disconnect from the Internet and I want to see what my LAST IP address was. If I reconnect to the Internet, I'll get the new IP address, not the old IP address.
Also, if I type "winipconfig /all", I get the IP address assigned BY the router to the computer (not TO the router by the PPPoE ISP).
I'll eventually figure this out but maybe you can give me a head start?
What is a convenient way to find the last IP address assigned to your PPPoE router by the ISP from the computer without being on the Internet itself?
