erm, another plugin!
This gets your external IP address (because some of my friends are stupid and couldnt get it themselfs)
Usage:
(!XIP) - will replace with your external IP address
Version 1.01:
- (Really) Removed line break after IP (thanx Choli)

very nice...
how do you get the external ip? you connect to a server, don't you?
Edit: Do not put a new line at the end of the IP 
RE: externalIP 1.0 by mikezs on 11-02-2003 at 05:05 PM
im working on the new line!
ive lost the MSDN cd of visual studio, so i cant get help 
RE: externalIP 1.01 by Choli on 11-02-2003 at 05:24 PM
It's very easy do that. You've develop it under VB 6, haven't you? Then you have to use the Replace() function and change vbnewline by ""
code:
variable_string_with_the_ip = Replace(variable_string_with_the_ip, vbNewLine, "")

Yay! I guess this can come out really handy, because more ppl have such friends, like me... 
And there isn't any other way to let it check it instead of letting it connect to a server (if that is how it checks it)? It seems a bit of a workaround, but if you can't do it a different way...

it goes to a webpage that only displays your IP adress,
so it uses about 15 bytes of bandwidth and loads in about 50ms

I can't get your plug-in to work for me. It puts the (!XIP) command in the chat window but when I send it no IP shows up.
