I want to find my public ip address with out going to whatsmyip.com
My problem is; at work we have a computer in the back, internet access is blocked. It however doesn't block telnet or irc servers running on port 6667. I want to transfer files via irc to the work computer from the bot running on mine. MP3's and whatnot. One of the DCC commands argument is my public ip.
Is there a way to find it in the cmd? ipconfig gives me the privet ip for the network, but not the public.

Also, if it's a local network, wouldn't the local IP suffice?
No experience here, just guessing
That's what I would think too. Idk anything about IRC, however. |

DCC also takes an IRC nick as a parameter, is there a reason you can't simply have the bot do:
Code
DCC SEND <yournick> /path/to/music.mp3

I've tried with no success, I think I'm sending the command wrong or something.
Code
irc.send("PRIVMSG #BotRoom :DCC SEND techb C:\Users\owner\Desktop\Insane\music.mp3")
Is that wrong?
This is what told me I need the ip address.

Try backward slashes.

Still nothing.
Code "PRIVMSG #BotRoom :DCC SEND techb C:/Users/owner/Desktop/Insane/music.mp3"

"PRIVMSG #BotRoom :DCC SEND techb C:/Users/owner/Desktop/Insane/music.mp3"
I may be wrong/being pedantic here, but I think there's supposed to be a space between the colon(:) and DCC
Corrected to be:
Code
"PRIVMSG #BotRoom : DCC SEND techb C:/Users/owner/Desktop/Insane/music.mp3"

They should totally switch those names. Small note: isn't irrelevant.

I'm assuming you've done the necessary port forwarding/firewall port opening, right?

There shouldn't be any port forwarding issues. The DCC command in something like mIRC worked, I just can't seem to command right or something.
And I tried it with a space between ':' and 'DCC SEND' still nothing...
I did notice I needed the '\r\n' after the command, I felt stupid lol.

Out of curiosity, why are you appending # to the nick you want to DCC to? I haven't seen that format before and it doesn't really fit with the way the rest of the protocol. '#' is used to denote a channelname

Like you said, the channel name. techb is the nickname I'm sending the file to. Its after the DCC SEND command.
Or should I send it to the person as a "privet chat";
Code
irc.send("PRIVMSG techb : DCC SEND path\to\file")
?

DCC is meant to transfer files between users, not to entire channels (afaik.) I'd say give it a try directed at a user, rather than a channel.

CTCP (Client to Client Protocol) requests, which DCC generally relies on, require a ^A (\001) character surrounding the request. Maybe try that?
Example:
Code irc.send("PRIVMSG #techb :\001DCC SEND path\to\file\001\r\n")

Alrighty, nevermind, I know what's going on. I actually looked up the code from my old IRC bot and the DCC requests are actually a lot more complicated than they seem.
Code PRIVMSG stealth- :\x01DCC SEND Filename LongIP Port filesize SomeIncrementingNumber\x01
LongIP - Your IP in long format
Port - Duh
Filesize - In bytes
SomeIncrementingNumber - I have not the slightest clue what I was doing when I coded this, but it's a number starting at 100 that increments with every new connection
Unfortunately, I pretty much gave up mid-way through coding the DCC feature, as I really was only doing it for the fun of it (it wasn't related to the bots real purpose), so I don't really know a *whole* lot, but enough to say that if you have port 6667 access, just port forward that port at home and manually send everything over sockets. If you can get a IRC client at your office, I'm sure you can get a small python script.
I hope this helped, somehow >.>

It was a nice idea; but like you it was for a side project and is loosing my interest real fast.
I decided to go a different route with my IRC bot. It is something that has never been done before. I will post a write up on what I did after I document everything.
I work at Sub Way btw lol. My office is a prep table. Like I said before, they have the computer in the backed locked down. I forgot the name of the program, but I found the MD5 hashes for the firewalls login info; haven't gotten around to cracking them yet. Anyway.... Thanks for trying to help out.

LOL 
That's a sweet idea. It's well documented and looks simple enough for beginners, too (unlike a lot of the writeups for hardware hacks out there).
Nicely done
