Jason, here's something I have used:

    local lcMachineName,lnLen,llRetVal
    declare GetComputerName in WIN32API string @,long @
    lcMachineName=space(200)
    lnLen=200
    llRetVal=GetComputerName(@lcMachineName,@lnLen) && Local computer name from registry
*    public IPSocket
*    IPSocket = CreateObject("MSWinsock.Winsock")
*    if type('IPSocket')='O'
*      IPAddress = IPSocket.LocalIP
*      localhostname=IPSocket.localhostname
*    endif
* Email MIS
*    cemailline1="Error in TT3 Active Program "+mprog+ " err "+ cmerror+ CHR(10)+CHR(13)
    cemailline12="Network Information "+iif(llRetval,left(alltr(lcMachineName),len(alltr(lcMachineName))-1),.Null.)
*    cemailline13="Local IP:   " + IPAddress
*    cemailline14="Local host: "+localhostname
