Script: Find Local IP Address using MSWinsock Control

Posted by Daren on Sunday, January 18, 2004 (PST)

Script: Finds local ip address using the MSWinsock.Winsock Control. This control is not installed by default.

/**
 *    Script:   LocalIP.js
 *    Purpose:  Finds Local IP Address
 *    Author:   Daren Thiel
 *    Date:     26 December 1998
 *    Web:      http://www.winscripter.com
 *    Note:     Rename this file LocalIP.js
 **/

/* Create Winsock Object */
ws = new ActiveXObject( "MSWinsock.Winsock" );

/* Retrieve LocalIP property */
ipaddress = ws.LocalIP;

/* Let the user know about it */
WScript.Echo( "The local IP is : " + ipaddress );

Hmm, just saw the comment at the top that this control isn't part of the system.
