Every device connected to a network which uses the Internet Protocol has an unique IP address assigned to it. The External IP or Public IP is the IP address of the device as it seems from the outside. It is easy to know the External IP of a device by simply search Google for “ip”. But it is always handy to have a tiny tool to do the job. WhatIsMyIP from SpiderIP is such a small Windows application. It is a simple application written in C# that requires Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0 to run successfully.
