I coded a scrappy internal/external ip finder in vb last week... and was trying to look for more vb netcode to expand upon for it. All it did was grab an http request from the automation script at whatismyip.com :P  

.. but I was looking to add on to it for maybe distribution at a larger lan event of ours. Maybe for people who don't know wtf they're doing. Click renew, click find... blah blah blah... In a user friendly interface. Not sure. Still trying to figure out some practicality for noobs.

ahh IC,..thats what I was thinking too just with some quick brainstorming.. A http request would be the fastest way I could think of of doing it. I have no VB (program) but maybe I'll have to get a 30 day or something and do it since I have nothing really going on today

You using 6 or .net

Other than that, a nice collection of apps which can be very useful. The Advance System Info is a very very powerful and useful program. Now if only they had a reverse email lookup program and or WhoIs built in...that would be helpful

When I tried to run that, my sysinfo crashed.....

LOL...yeah yeah I know. Is it possible to create a batch file that would go out and get your outside ip. Cause that would be golden if you could. You wouldnt even have to visit a website....just dbl click and you have it

Just have it get the ip from your cable modem instead of getting it from a web page, but essentially, it still is.

.NET

This is what the last working build of it looked like, but I've recently changed it up a bit to allow expansion of options:



I figured having FITES plastered on it was a nice touch.. advertising!

One question though....why would anyone at the lans need the public IP?  Isn't that more infor than they need.  Although, they can find it out if they tried, but still....

Well, it was just a test than anything... as I said, I'm trying to figure what would be the most practical tool for a noob to use that would help them the most at one of our lans... a lightweight tool if possible. And I like the thought of our name being right on the tool

Nice work...I haven't touched .NET though I'm told it's 10x better than 6 (especially when it comes to the versatility of .Net vs 6)

I haven't touched VB at all before last week, so I only have about 15 hours of experience learning VB so far. Considering that, I thought I did fairly well.

I saw something like this awhile back that utilized wget inside a batch file to grab your external IP from whatismyip.com and display it from batch file.

I used to use a batch script that I would have a shortcut to at the top of all my users' Start Menu's that showed them their IP (internal, the external wouldn't be important), their PC name, their MAC address, their OS version, uptime, their NT UserID, and which domain controller authenticated them.It was really handy and really simple so I could tell them to click on Start and then "Who Am I?" and I had all that info without walking them through 10 steps to get their IP. Then a policy changed and regular users were no longer allowed access to the command line and all batch files had to be converted to VBS. I've never quite figured out an equivalent in VBScript. I've been able to come up with partial replacements, but never quite what I was looking for.
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

Funny you should say that because I came across a batch file that did the exact same thing about a year ago. I had it then when windows took a dump on me (it always does like every 6 months cause I can't leave well enough alone and have to mod the hell out of my GUI to be unique) I lost it. I never found it again since. It wasn't from a forum or anything, just a web dir which had a ton of different apps. I stay awake sometimes wondering where it went
