Why not do it with DNS? That is the raison d'état of dynamic dns systems such as dyndns.

What i mean is.. on my n810 I want a program that checks DNS's website and retrives my IP address from it without me actually having to look up the website manually enter my password then find my IP. I just pull up the program and it has it in a convienient copy/paste format right there for me.
I am asking if a program like this exist or how hard/what knowledge would be required to make one.

Do you just want to know your IP address?
The Applet HomeIP displays your current IP address on your desktop.

I guess the easiest way is to parse some page like http://whatsmyip.net/ :
wget -O - -o /dev/null http://whatsmyip.net | grep empty_area | cut -d'>' -f 2 | cut -d'<' -f 1
works, but those sites tend to change their format frequently, so this will stop working some time in the future.

While you can always go to the website.. if you want to rapidly connect to remote desktop it would be nice to have a program that would allow it to be retrieved without having to log in and all that.
