Re: Getting IP Address of Machine that is Currently Running the Stack
Hi, Thanks a lot, that worked great, for anyone that is interested, here is a function to return the local IP address: -- -- -- Get the Local IP Address of this Machine -- -- function GetLocalHostIPAddress local myIPAddress local myHostAddress put 255.255.255.255:6000 into myIPAddress open datagram socket to myIPAddress put the hostAddress of myIPAddress into myHostAddress close socket myIPAddress return myHostAddress end GetLocalHostIPAddress -- -- -- Test it on a Button -- -- on mouseUp put GetLocalHostIPAddress() end mouseUp Thanks again Dave On 25 Oct 2006, at 20:41, Dar Scott wrote: On Oct 25, 2006, at 7:09 AM, Dave wrote: How can I get the IP address of the machine that a stack is running on?

Getting IP Address of Machine that is Currently Running the Stack
I have done the obvious thing: I have lifted the scripts out of this recent thread and combined them in a stack which I have just uploaded to RevOnline: IP Addresser Credit IS given. Love, Richmond I have just read and signed the online petition: Hinge Bracket hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition service, at: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/HandB/ I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might agree, too. If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider signing yourself.

Re: Getting IP Address of Machine that is Currently Running the Stack
Dave, I usually do that by sending a get URL request to a cgi script (Rev cgi or php) that runs on a server and that returns the client IP.

Re: Getting IP Address of Machine that is Currently Running the Stack
Hi Dave, Here is an example that might be easier to use: local lIPAddress -- local script variable -- function GetIPAddress local tInternetConnected - put hostNameToAddress(www.runrev.com) empty into tInternetConnected if tInternetConnected then put empty into lIPAddress open socket to www.runrev.com:443 with message SocketOpen wait until lIPAddress empty with messages return lIPAddress else return Error: could not find an internet connection. end GetIPAddress -- on socketOpen put the hostAddress of www.runrev.com:443 into lIPAddress close socket www.runrev.com:443 end socketOpen You will use this code easily: put GetIPAddress() into tCurMachineIPAddress Of course you may use another domain than www.runrev.com and another port than 443 as you like :-) Have a look at hostNameToAddress, open socket, close socket and hostAddress in the docs.

Re: Getting IP Address of Machine that is Currently Running the Stack
There are several ways to get your IP address, depending on which address you need. One possibility is this one-liner: put char 1 to -9 of (last word of line ¬ lineoffset(title,url http://www.whatismyip.com;) ¬ of url http://www.whatismyip.com;) Probably you want to split up this line, to get the url first and then the ip. Of course, it is much easier, if you have a good cgi available. I put one up at http://xtalk.memebot.com/cgi-bin/ip.cgi which returns nothing but your public ip address. You can use this URL as long as Memebot doesn't complain about bandwidth usage, but you should install a cgi on your own server if possible. Use the following script to get the public IP address in Revolution: put url http://xtalk.memebot.com/cgi-bin/ip.cgi; You can get your LAN IP address with the following script: put hostnametoaddress(the hostname) and the local IP address of your machine with put hostnametoaddress(localhost) Best, Mark -- Economy-x-Talk Consultancy and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz Get your store on-line within minutes with Salery Web Store software.

Or run a shell script and parse the output: ifconfig on OS X and ipconfig in Windows. Cheers, Luis.
