It sounds like what you are really looking for is a local gateway to get
to the Internet, and to where ever the time entries are made?
It is a convention may administrators use to put gateways at either end
of the local network, i.e. nnn.nnn.nnn.1 or nnn.nnn.nnn.255, but you
would still need to know the network address prefix, and it would still
not be 100% reliable if the gateway has actually been placed at a
different address.
There is also a router discovery protocol called "ICMP Router Discovery
Messages" described in RFC 1256, available at:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1256 that may be of help. There is another
fairly good description of it available at:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc957901.aspx.
Good Luck.

Would the "openSockets" function do what you need? Not as direct as what

But that only handles connections already open, doesn't it?
What I'm really looking at is a laptop that spends some of its time in
the office, but also goes to court, where an attorney may want to make
time entries.
At that point, I'd like the laptop to simply figure out where it is
without waiting for a timeout.
The problem with applescript is that I'll be selling more windows than
mac for the foreseeable future, and I'm tryng to limit the number of
areas in which windows gets short-featured for its deficiencies . . .
