I must be missing something obvious, but is there a command that provides the user's IP address (whether Mac or PC).

I'm collecting ways to do this, so I'd be pleased to see answers.

Here's a script I have that does this:


set the itemdel to ":"
get HostNameToAddress(item 1 of the address)

The address function should work without a connection to the internet. However, the hostNameToAddress() function does a DNS lookup, and as such requires an internet connection to work properly. (See the entry in the Transcript Dictionary for hostNameToAddress for more information about this.)

I'm confused.


What if I don't even know my host name or I have none or my DNS doesn't know it?

I think the goal is to get the primary IP address of the computer not of a connection. I may be confused there, too.
