I suspect that depends a great deal on the modem. The modem that I use has a web interface that can be accessed through http:/10.1.1.1/ so the various web scraping tools such as LWP and WWW::Mechanize could be used to access the information. It may be that someone has written code for your particular modem and if you mention the modem type you may get the information you want. Otherwise, go read some documentation (modem documentation and the modules mentioned above). :) DWIM is Perl's answer to Gödel	[reply]

Generally this sort of information is found using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), to do this you need to find the information on your particular modem, for this try here and maybe try their forums. jdtoronto	[reply]

I believe that the scripts here, in particular, the one to List Network Adapter Configuration Properties, might be just what you are looking for. (Or should at least get you started in the right direction...) HTH, planetscape	[reply]

You could use Perl to parse the output of either the "ifconfig" for *nix os or the "ipconfig" for windows, either will give the information that you desire. Thank you, Greg W	[reply]
