Description
_GetIP() in Inet.au3 UDF is outdated, due to Source Code changes with WhatIsMyIP. The www.whatismyip.com site has been updated since _GetIP() was first introduced, therefore if www.checkip.dyndns.org was to fail (downtime) so would www.whatismyip.com. I have updated the Function which now doesn't write to a temporary file & uses the www.whatismyip.com's automation page, plus it uses less lines of code!

This is because they changed the link at the end of May 2011, if you look at the Forum message (http://forum.whatismyip.com/f14/our-automation-rules-t241/) it was last updated on the 25th May 2011. So at the time of posting the updated code the link was valid. Thanks Jpm for noticing this subtle update by WhatIsMyIP.

I updated my Example and I've had no problems so far with testing. Hopefull they don't change it again! I know my Version is simple and anyone can do it, but I'm so ecstatic that my Function has been included in Inet.au3.
