Just looked at my notes and wse had a problem with that routine getting past
the firewall and ended up with this:
#define TIMEOUT 30 && timeout 30 seconds
o = createobject("internetexplorer.application")
o.Navigate("http://www.atoutfox.org/ip.asp";)
v_t = SECONDS()
* DO WHILE o.busy() AND (seconds() -v_t) <= TIMEOUT
DO WHILE o.ReadyState<>4 AND (seconds() -v_t) <= TIMEOUT
DOEVENTS
ENDDO
IF o.ReadyState<>4
v_ip = "0.0.0.0"
else
v_ip = o.document.nameprop()
ENDIF
RELEASE o
? "Your IP address is : ", v_ip
Hope it helps
Dave

Subject: How to identify a person's IP address from your VFP app?
I'm wondering how to identify the user's IP address so we can apply tighter
security. (MySQL allows you to restrict access by IP address.)
How do you get the person's true IP (and not just the internal network IP)? Do
you do a TraceRt and someone glean it from that?
Thanks!
