From: REM on 12 Apr 2010 15:23 I've been wanting to do this for quite awhile. Our domain names don't always resolve to the proper IP address a PC is on. It's getting old talking folks through either giving the domain name or through running IPconfig and giving us the IP address so that we can log on and fix whatever needs attention. I'm playing around with BGInfo: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897557.aspx It's not quite what I had hoped for. It doesn't handle the display of two IP addresses very well. It does display it (or them) on the desktop, though and that is what I'l looking for. "Look at your desktop and read the IP address to me." Presto! Does anyone have other suggestions of small apps that might do this? I can script it. I don't really want anything other than the IP address. BGInfo has all sorts of stuff and is configurable, but it's a little clunky, which is very surprising for a SysInternals app. TIA Does anyone still have a copy of the IP Agent that Steve Gibson had? It's no longer on his site (or I'm getting really blind).

Since it seems such an onerous task to enter in such a short command lines, why not define a shortcut that runs the following? cmd /k ipconfig Voila! The user sees a command shell (that remains open) that shows their current IP assignment. You can put the shortcut with that command line in their Start menu, on their desktop, or in a toolbar in the Windows taskbar.

The following link will return only an IP address in a browser window .... http://myip.ozymo.com/ Under linux I use it as an alias where only typing ipaddr at the command-line displays the ip address .... alias ipaddr='curl myip.ozymo.com' Don't know if there is a curl command for windows .... -- Stanley C.

I did find one premade script: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/ScriptCenter/en-us/c4aedd21-52a9-4cce-94e6-529af3aa0bba They have lots of nifty scripts!

Evidently no curl. This returns an outside IP address, whereas I need the one assigned within our network in order to VNC in there and repair whatever needs work. Thanks! |
