Geez, if you're gonna complain about such minor details...

[Btw: then why use a Subject header that suggests you're asking about Eudora?
People please, spend some time thinking about an appropriate Subject header.
Yes, that can be hard, but who says hard isn't good for you? ;) This list
sees an awful lot of traffic and I doubt that many people actually read
everything, so it's for your own good to use descriptive Subject headers.]

Look, your question seems to be "how to grab the correct IP address", but
you're not saying anything about how you are grabbing it _now_... Also, since
scripting possibilities differ per OS version, you're not helping by
insisting on keeping your OS version a secret. People can shoot from the hip
and may even accidentally hit something, but they're more likely to hit the
right target if you provide them with a clear one.
So, erm.. give it another go ;)

OK, that helps, but it's not enough information yet:
1) Hoe are you grabbing the IP address now?
2) What OS version are you using?
