If you were behind a router, this may not work. An address such as 192.168.0.XXX could be returned and not a true external IP address.

I also think that you could sum this up on one line.

display dialog "IP:" default answer (do shell script "ifconfig en0 | grep 'inet' | awk '{print $2}'")

Nope, that gets:

fe80::20a:95ff:fec4:5ae6%en0
192.168.1.4

'ifconfig en0' doesn't even list the WAN address, not for me any way.

I use this to get my public IP address from behind a router

set ip_external to characters 1 thru -2 of (words 31 thru 32 of ,
((do shell script "curl http://checkip.dyndns.org/";) as international text) as text) as text
display dialog "Public IP" & ip_external
