Not directly related, but you can find your IP address with ...


require 'socket'
i = IPSocket.getaddress(Socket.gethostname)
puts i



... although I just tried that in a win98 DOS box as

ruby -rsocket -e'puts IPSocket.getaddress(Socket.gethostname)'

and got no reply (& no error).

Should work ?  (Probably my set-up; never use cmd line.)
