Just log in to your router that’s handing out IP addresses, look for the Pi
in your leases and then pull the IP address from that. Should be as simple
as reading a page or the output from a command depending on what kind of
router you have and how you're setup. I assume your router for example is
your DHCP server and you’re not running your own domain controller etc.
Well, in our case the router defers to a Mac which handles DHCP allocations, so
we'd probably have to send a request to the Mac. Is there a portable,
network-based way to get this sort of information from a router and/or the DHCP
server?
Logging into the router, as you suggest, may not be an option for the user.
For example, they might be a student living in a dormitory or a client in a
coffee shop. Also, there's no guarantee that the router's administrative
interface is blind-accessible.
So far, this doesn't seem like a very general solution, but I'm certainly
willing to keep the discussion open...
