What approach would you suggest that is better to use ?
I have a DSL AP 2Wire783 in front of my computer that does not have
the
capability of giving me the Internet IP.
You sure about that? I'll admit I have only used about 4 or 5
different
dsl modems but all of them could be put in bridging mode.
I presume he uses NAT because he wants to, e.g. because he has more than
one machine and his ISP only issues a single IP, or for security.
OTOH it's likely that there is a way to scrape the modem's web control
page for the IP number without having to ping external addresses. Might
be a bit messy though.
Actually the cleanest solution is probably just to use a service such as
dyndns and register a domain name (the basic service is free), then just
look it up when you need to. It means installing ddclient, but it's in
the Fedora repos.

That exactly what I got but they don't like you checking for your Internet IP every hour or so it's
tying up their server.
