Does anyone know of some commandline util to display the public IP you're coming from, even behind NAT?
I know I could wget something like www.whatismyip.com or similar but I'd prefer to be a bit cleaner.

Well, Tim, if it's NOT behind NAT, your util would be ipconfig .

From behind NAT... you could see if you can find some open source DynDNS updater and hack that. Or you put a PHP script on a webspace that only echoes back the $_SERVER['HTTP_REMOTE_ADDR'] value and wget that...

What do you need this for? Is this just informational, or are you working on some creative solution to a problem?

From powershell you could do

Function Get-ExternalIP {
$WC = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$WC.DownloadString('http://myip.dnsomatic.com/')
}
