Hello All,
Thanks to much kind advise, I can now create stacks that are able to
interact over my school's LAN. Next step is to simplify my messy scripting
methods.
Question: Is there a Rev command (or elegant trick?) for retrieving the local IP address of the computer on which a stack is running?
For the moment, my half-baked solution is to (1) use the router software to
assign each computer a permanent IP address, and then (2) store those IP
addresses as a text file. That way, each time a LAN-based stack opens it
retrieves its computer's IP address from that text file.
There must be a better way, though!

2 tricks for OS X and Win 2K theIPAddress is the local IP address of the computer
MacOS X
put replaceText(shell("/sbin/ifconfig en0 | head -3 | grep 'inet ' | cut -d' ' -f 2"),"(\s|\(|\))","") into theIPAddress
Windows 2000/XP
put "255.255.255.255:43222" into testSocket
open datagram socket to testSocket
put hostAddress(testSocket) into theIPAddress
close socket testSocketThierry
