Hi Dave,

The hostaddresstoname and hostnametoaddress function work fine. My tiny cgi script on Memebot works fine too.

I bet your machine is connected to a local network using a router. It is also possible that you have additional gateways defined on your local machine, e.g. to facilitate Parallels.

If an IP number or address doesn't exist or is invalid, e.g. because it is of the form "Machine.local", the hostaddresstoname and hostnametoaddress functions may return empty. This is normal.

Perhaps, you are looking for:

put hostaddresstoname(url "http://xtalk.memebot.com/cgi-bin/ip.cgi";)

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille

Hi All,

I have the following function:

------------------------------------------------------------------
--
--  Get the LAN IP Address of this Machine
--
------------------------------------------------------------------
function IPMGetHostIPAddressLAN
  local myHostIPAddress

  put hostNameToAddress(the hostName) into myHostIPAddress
  return myHostIPAddress
end IPMGetHostIPAddressLAN


This used to work fine and return the local LAN address of the machine the Script is running on, I just tried it and now it just returns empty.

I originally cribbed this from Richmond's "Get IP Address" stack. I download this again from rev online and it too fails. From this stack:

on mouseUp
put "Public IP =" && url "http://xtalk.memebot.com/cgi-bin/ ip.cgi" into line 1 of fld "F1" put "Local IP =" && hostnametoaddress ("localhost") into line 2 of fld "F1" put "LAN IP =" && hostnametoaddress(the hostname) into line 3 of fld "F1"
end mouseUp

When I run this I get "empty" as the LAN Address. The other two IP address fields are filled in ok.

Could anyone shed any light on why this has stopped working and how I can obtain the LAN IP address?

Thanks a lot
All the Best
Dave
