Actually Chris I wanted the local network, behind the firewall IP
address. The project I have in mind is just using sockets in a single
classroom. All computers have 10.x.x.x. addresses.
Thanks!

put word 1 to -1 of item 2 of resp into resp
set itemdel to "<"
put item 1 of resp into myExIP

Hi All...
I've been looking at all the solutions in the archive for getting
the IP
address of the machine running a stack. Some shell scripts, some
php calls,
etc. etc.
I have a situation where we are behind a firewall using NAT. So all
our
computers are running a 10.x.x.x.x address. I'm trying to implement
some
socket communication between stacks and IP address information is
essential
for this to work. I would like the communication process set up to
be as
transparent as possible, allowing users to connect by name and
maybe holding
IP address is a custom property for example.
The Dictionary provides some examples for hostAdress function and I
tried
(wishful thinking, script trickery) something like this:
on mouseUp
open socket to "127.0.0.1:5005" with message "socketOpen"
put the result
end mouseUp
on socketOpen theSock
put the hostAddress of "127.0.0.1:5005"
end socketOpen
...but it just gave me 127.0.0.1 and not the 10.x.x.x. address...
Shell script works nice, but it gives quite a few IP in its result.
Plus
the actual machine IP is located on different lines in the result,
such as
in a desktop machine, as opposed to a laptop on wireless.
It just seems like it would be nice to have a built in function for
reporting local machine's IP...
Such as, "put localIP of current stack into tIP" or "get LocalIP of
current stack."
Is this available in the dictionary and I'm just missing it?
Thank you!
