In my testing I have had some problems with the straight conversion to the variable.
replace " set thConfig to (every TCPIP v4 configuration whose active is true)"
with:
--BEGIN COPY
--get names of all TCP/IP config sets
set thConfig to (every TCPIP v4 configuration whose active is true)
--get active TCP/IP config set
set activeTCPIPconfigSet to every TCPIP v4 configuration whose active is true
set activeTCPIPconfigSet to item 1 of activeTCPIPconfigSet
--get the name the the active set
set activeTCPIPconfigSet to name of the activeTCPIPconfigSet
--END COPY
I know others will say that some of these steps can be combined...but when I tried to do it, it kept coming up with wierd errors and this way never did..

(Maybe 9.0, but definitely pre-9.1) When I try to get the active tcp configuration(s) I now get an empty list. Can anyone confirm that this is broken, or have I perhaps just messed it up with something else in my System?
