You can run 'ifconfig' without being root, so there must be a way. At very worst, parse ifconfig's output. The way you talk of "the" external interface, I'm assuming this computer has only one. Is there a reason for not simply binding to INADDR_ANY aka 0.0.0.0? Do you specifically need to *not* bind to 127.0.0.1? Chris Angelico -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
