finding the servers IP adres...

[math]

We have a server (Win2000, IIS) but our ip-adres is dynamic... we want to create a perl-script that finds the cuurent ip and upload it to our homepage (on our provider)... So what is the command to find the ip of the server the script is running on? Is there a way?

Thanks in advance,

math

Could you use the loopback address? (127.0.0.1) Mike

You can use 'ipconfig' on the winOS to get your address....

#!perl
@netStuff = `ipconfig`; # [red] <= back ticks[/red]
foreach (@netStuff)
{
print &quot;=> $_ \n&quot;;
}
