    As another suggested, www.whatismyip.com or similar sites are the
    easiest. But if your iSeries is not on the same local network as your
    PC then this might not be possible. You could do a "trace route"
    instead from a command line:
    TRCTCPRTE RMTSYS('www.google.com')
    You can use most any host on the internet as the RMTSYS since all you
    care about is the first routeable IP it finds. That will be your
    "external" address. After TCTCPRTE completes display your joblog to
    find all the "hops" it took to get to the remote system. Ignore any
    at the top of the list that are non-routable. Those are inside your
    local network and will be 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x or 172.16.x.x.
    Thank you madcap, your solution worked for me!
