Hey, total newb here...
How do I get the dotted ip address of the currenthost, I'm currently
using
NSHost but I get fe80::1. I need to get the real IP, such as
192.168.100.12
etc.
thanks in advance!

Hi Dave,
fe80::1is a "real" IP address, so unless you *really* have a good
reason to only show IPv4 addresses like 192.168.100.12, I think you
shouldn't filter the NSHost output. Otherwise you unnecessarily break
compatibility of your program with IPv6 networking.
Now If you nevertheless really want to do that, I also suggest you go
the way that has already been proposed: Look only for addresses with
"." in them.
An IPv6 address can be written with '.' into it.

So the solution is more to avoid any address with ':'.
