My external IP?


I have a router between me and the cable modem. The router gets my IP from my provider, and renews the lease when it is time to do so. I would like to know a couple of things. My external IP. I can get that by opening the routers admin page, but that's not convenient. I use dns2go for my DNS provider, and IT knows, so that must be available somehow locally. I also would like to know how long the lease is for. I don't know how to do that, by any means.
Ideas?
