Detecting Network IP Address
How can i detect the network IP address of a PC? I have tried downloading someones iptest.zip which they claim would work but it doesn't.

Anybody have any other ideas? Don't need any other addresses just the IP address of the network card.

Thanx

Loop Back IP Address - 127.0.0.1
Internet IP Address - 152.168.0.101
Automatic Private IP Address - 169.254.0.1

When i run WINIPCFG

Network IP Address - 192.168.1.51

Have you got only one network adapter?

I also get the same IP address on my colleagues PC who has a similar setup

Are you using the original example script?

If I'm not mistaken, the solution is quite simple...

The default NSI script file parses a string of test values:
"192.168.0.100;127.0.0.1;152.168.0.101;169.254.0.1;"

Instead, comment that line and uncomment the section above it that actually uses the DLL:

;SetOutPath $TEMP
;File ip.dll
;CallInstDll $TEMP\ip.dll get_ip
;Pop $0

Hope this helps!
