I am looking for ideas/suggestion on how, in live code, to obtain the
public IP address of the computer a LiveCode standalone is running on.
hostName() returns the name of the computer.
hostNameToAddress(hostName()) return the IP address, such as
192.168.1.104, but (as in this case) if the system is behind a NAT
device, like a typical internet router, all you get a is local address
DNSservers() can get you the IPs of the computers DNS servers
I can find no function to get the gateway address - i.e. the address of
the router the computer is connected to.
Is the only approach to go after the real IP is to do so through a shell
command? Or is there some clever LiveCode function I am missing?
