Find my IP Address?

Is there a way to find my IP address?
The dictionary has some commands but they require an open socket. I just want to find out what my computer's IP address is without starting a server up and connecting to it

You use
the hostName along with
the hostNameToAddress functioon.
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
answer the hostNameToAddress of the hostName
end mouseUp

Thank you. I would never have figured that out on my own in a million years.

The Dictionary does leave a lot to be desired.

Hi,
The hostname is nice, but if you want to find the global IP address, the easiest way is to use a web service:
Code: Select all
put URL "http://qery.us/iptest.php"
Best,
Mark

That doesn't seem to work for me. I just get
http://qery.us/iptest.php as if its a normal put and not put URL.

Hi,
Just to be clear, qery.us works with any version of LiveCode, open-source or not.
Kind regards,
Mark

To better define "a bunch of stuff..." heh, you basically get the page source.

This works:
put URL "
https://ip.seeip.org" into MyPubblicIP
I wonder for how long...

I realize the OP was looking for an answer that wasn't dependent on a server, but since the nature of the task almost requires an external server and relying on other people's servers may be dodgy, if you have a server with LC Server installed you can use this:
Code: Select all
<?lc put put $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] ?>
The bigger question here is: why is the address needed?
