Finding Public IP Address in Spain

1

When I first arrived in Spain, my public IP address from the US worked fine with Wfview. Now that I have changed AirBNB’s, I had to do a search with “Whatsmyip.com” to find my new one. But the service here can’t detect the IPV6, just the IPV4 which doesn’t work to find my server.
I’m not really looking for solutions from anyone, just letting the travellers amongst us know that this might crop up.
I could try my phone as hot spot or I also have a Skyroam Solis hot spot I could try, but this is mostly just “Isn’t that curious” right now as I haven’t had much time or energy left for Ham radio.
Thanks for being there for all of us who use this cool program. “Robust enough to do the job, but simple enough to work.”

Yeah, ipv6 is not supported everywhere.
But to me its strange that your server cant be detected via ipv4, can you tell us more. Are you only running ipv6 there, or?

Here’s two screen shots. Any suggestions appreciated. In US, I have to use the IPv6 public address.

Ok, if ipv6 is the only way, there might be some way to transfer or map ipv4 to ipv6??

ok let me ask you some questions here.

you find your public address in Spain to be 83.42.191.222, also known as
222.red-83-42-191.dynamicip.rima-tde.net

and you put that in your wfview connection. Is this at the place where you did “the what’s my ip lookup”?
you also have CI-V address as model ID checked (don’t do that, unless you know why you need it)

now the question is. Where are you. Are you in .es? yes? And where is your rig located?

(just to make things more clear here)

If your rig/setup does not have an IPv4 address…

Not sure what’s up. Sent a lot of details but I’m not going to work on it, so we can close this one out…

Thanks for the help.
