Say guys,
is there a better/eaisier way of getting your ip# than this?
maybe piping rezultz to VDS directly?

run winipcfg.exe /batch
list create,1
list loadfile,1,A:\winipcfg.out
repeat
%Z = @NEXT(1)
if @MATCH(1,IP ADDRESS)
%%IP_ADDRESS = @TRIM(@STRDEL(@NEXT(1),1,@POS(":",@NEXT(1))))
else
end
until @NOT(@OK(1))
list close,1
file delete,A:\winipcfg.out

TIA
harry

There's another one - vdsonline.dll which can show you your IP address + online status. Beware though, that
if you are on a network, behind a router/switch etc. there will often be a difference between your local IP and
the external IP which your computer has on the Internet.

You can also make a little PHP script which you can load from the internet. That way you can get your external IP.

Or you could make a server with VDS which can give you the IP address...

Since all the good answers have been given already here's a not so good
one (depending on the reason you want the IP). At least it's a different
approach.

You can get all the IP info including gateways, DHCP info, MASKS, Lease
info etc. if you know the MAC address of your network connection
(including dialup) from the registry. The keys below should work with NT,
2000 or XP. It's easy enough to find them in 95,98 & ME with a little work.

Get the Mac Address(s) Here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkCards
The MAC Address is labeled ServiceName and you can load all the connections into a list for processing

Get IPINFO at one of the following:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\{MAC ADDRESS}\Parameters\Tcpip

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{MAC ADDRESS}

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\{MAC ADDRESS}\Parameters\Tcpip

I haven't tried this method personally yet but it does seem do-able and I just HAD to throw in my 2 cents. Smile
