Paul K. wrote: I'm trying to make a ZEN app that records the user's IP address, MAC address, User name, time and date to a log file. I'm using variables to do this but I can't seem to find one that has the IP address. Is there one?



A:
Hmm - there are several ways to get this- but nothing that's easy. Effectively, you need to use IPCONFIG and grep for the IP address details; there are WMI APIs to get this too.

OPEN CALL: Anyone have some ideas for Paul? Let us know...
