[SOLVED] How to obtain public ip address using windows command prompt?

Issue

Any way of doing this through the command prompt without using any third party software or relying on powershell?

A simple command would be great like on Linux/Mac which I use curl http://ipinfo.io/ip for.

Thanks!

Solution

Use the Invoke-WebRequest module in powershell. For example:

Invoke-WebRequest ifconfig.me/ip

Edit: I misread the question and thought you needed to use Powrshell.

There is no built in command in cmd.exe to return a public IP address. But you can use nslookup to resolve it, like so;

nslookup myip.opendns.com. resolver1.opendns.com

Another option for the OP:

telnet curlmyip.com 80

Type "GET" after you are connected.

Note: telnet is not installed/enabled by default on Windows.
