Status changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
Keywords set to windows
Thanks Shane. The ipaddress fact on windows was implemented in 1.5.8 and has
remained unchanged since. It calls:
<pre>
require 'socket'
IPSocket.getaddress(Socket.gethostname)
</pre>
Presumably, `IPSocket.getaddress` is returning a different value now. Really,
the fact should be using WMI like we already do for `lib/facter/util/ip.rb`.
There are a few other ipaddress related on windows #18284, #16668.

Bug #20983: Facter 1.7.1 on Windows selecting incorrect ipaddress fact value

* Affected Facter version: 1.7.1
----------------------------------------
On a Windows system with a single interface and single IPv4 address on that
interface (and no real IPv6, just the bound link-local address), Facter 1.7.1
is setting `ipaddress` to the IPv6 link-local address instead of the IPv4
address.
interfaces => Loopback_Pseudo_Interface_1,Local_Area_Connection
ipaddress => fe80::12bc:7caf:11d1:1ab6%11
ipaddress_local_area_connection => 10.1.1.17
ipaddress_loopback_pseudo_interface_1 => 127.0.0.1
Not sure what change caused this behavior, as the correct address is selected
on this system in 1.6.17 and the code for `ipaddress` under Windows doesn't
appear to have changed?
