Here's the code for ipaddress.

* getipaddress.prg  
* John Harvey
* 9/28/98
* Leave IPSocket public to view all properties in the debug window.
* I stumbled on this routine while trying to find information on  subclassing
* the WSH and thought it might be useful.
* public IPSocket  && uncomment if you want to test.
crlf=chr(13)+chr(10)
* Show local ip address
IPSocket = CreateObject("MSWinsock.Winsock")
if type('IPSocket')='O'
IPAddress = IPSocket.LocalIP
localhostname=IPSocket.localhostname
remotehost=IPSocket.remotehost
remotehostip=IPSocket.remotehostip
MessageBox ("Local IP = " + IPAddress+crlf+"local host = "+localhostname;
+crlf+"Remotehost = "+remotehost+crlf+"Remotehostip = "+remotehostip)
else
MessageBox ("Winsock Is Not Installed!")
endif
