EASIEST Way To Grap IP Address

[mtorbin]

Hey all,

I've tried looking up information on ifconfig, but for some reason I can't find a darn thing. Any ideas? All I want to do is quickly grab the IP Address.

BTW, it has to be an INTERNAL ip address, not EXTERNAL.

Can this not be done with JavaScript?

Windows or Linux?

Linux. OK... I found a way to do this in JS, however, it requires SHTML files, more commonly known as SSI. Can I stick this same code in a CGI file and have it parsed or is it ONLY SHTML?

You could use the IO::Interface module

$ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'} should give you the IP address of the client if that's what you're looking for.

On an internal network it's fairly straightforward, externally the $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'} can be spoofed

Spend an hour a week on CPAN, helps cure all known programming ailments ;-)

I've tried this example (second one), but I keep getting malformed header errors.
