I found this script most helpful when trying to ascertain the IP my host uses (as opposed to the IP my domain is situated at.

For less techy readers, you can use this script by replacing the ceon.net domain with one of your own. You can then locate your raw log files (usually called access.log), open it up in a text editor and check the last few entries for the string WHATISTHISSERVERSIP. Or if you have a command line access then use the 'tail' command to find the last few entries like so:

tail access.log

Please upload the following script to your server and call it from your browser:
-------
<?php

$url = 'http://ceon.net/WHATISTHISSERVERSIP';

$contents = @file_get_contents($url);

print "Contact me now to let me know that you've carried out this test and I'll get the IP address from my logs!";

exit;

?>

As the message says, please let me know when you've done this and I can see what IP address your server contacted mine from.

All the best...
