I'm interested in getting the IP address of the current machine on the local network, but I cannot use any Java (i.e. [mxj net.local]). One possible solution would be to use the [shell] object or similar to run 'ifconfig' and parse the output, but last time I used the [shell] object, it was buggy.

Can you think of any alternatives? I've never written an external – do you think it would be simple to acquire this information from C?

This would be super helpful for me as well. Let me know if you find a solution!!

there's no issue with shell, parse output with regexp- works just fine- post the patch if you want debbug.

though if you want to rewrite maxmsp go ahead ;)

Hmmm, I have had sufficient problems with shell in the past that I wrote my own last week. (Attached is screenshot with example using ifconfig).

I'm happy to make it available if anyone wants it.
