If you wanted the routers external IP address, you can telnet to the router
and issue:
show int wan0-0
This will contain the IP address... for some reason, it seems outdated
sometimes. If so, try this command instead:
show nat
This will show you your NAT rules and you'll see the current IP address in
the second column.
