my openbsd machine is conected to a windows machine. the windows machine has

is there a way to automatically retrieve the ip address of the windows
machine and set up DISPLAY variable in the login script on openbsd machine?
also, how to handle ip renewals?
I wonder if you could misuse traceroute to do this somehow? Traceroute to a known
"outside" host that you know will have to traverse the Windows gateway, with a low
max-hops value, and then parse the output of traceroute to see what the n'th hop was.
