Hi,
Thanks a lot, that worked great, for anyone that is interested, here
is a function to return the local IP address:
------------------------------------------------------------------
--
-- Get the Local IP Address of this Machine
--
------------------------------------------------------------------
function GetLocalHostIPAddress
local myIPAddress
local myHostAddress
put "255.255.255.255:6000" into myIPAddress
open datagram socket to myIPAddress
put the hostAddress of myIPAddress into myHostAddress
close socket myIPAddress
return myHostAddress
end GetLocalHostIPAddress
------------------------------------------------------------------
--
-- Test it on a Button
--
------------------------------------------------------------------
on mouseUp
put GetLocalHostIPAddress()
end mouseUp
Thanks again
Dave

Open a datagram socket to a legal IP address. That does not have
to be assigned. Then get the hostAddress of that socket. Then
close it. The hostAddress will be what you want.
If the machine has more than one IP address, the address will be
the one that would be used in trying to make the connection. For
example, on a firewall, the machine might have both a public IP
address for one adaptor and a private IP address for the LAN on
another adaptor. Also, a single Ethernet LAN might have more than
one IP address assigned to an adaptor on a machine (I use this for
addressing both my network and instruments that come with a fixed
IP address). And then there are dialups and VPNs and...
The cool part about the datagram method is that it is not
intrusive. It does not try to do anything on the net.
If you want the IP address of the default adaptor, try
"255.255.255.255". This does not always work; I forgot the
constraints.
This method would not work at one time on OS X, but that was fixed.
