Re: OT: Quickest way to determine network IP address

Thanks! I learned a little more about running Windows commands. At
one point there was something called WSH (Windows Scripting Host)... I
don't know where that ever went and if it would be relevant to
executing commands to return values such as an IP address.

even slightly faster is:
one line

cmd /k ipconfig

you can type it in run dialog box
or save in shortcut
dont need a batch file.

then you just need to close the box to get out.
the benefit of the batch file is any key will get passed the pause and
exit the command prompt window.

The most ideal solution would be a system tray icon that I could hover
over to show the IP address.

Another option that I just lucked out by trying is to set up a .bat
file:

run cmd
ipconfig
pause

and it was a one-click solution showing the local IP address for that
computer.
