VBScript VPN IP Address

Hi,

I was hoping someone could maybe help me with a problem I have. Essentially i am trying to write a script that gets the current IP address of my computer and saves it to a line in an existing file. The problem is my computer is connected via a VPN and the current code I use to get the IP address does not return this IP address.

This is the curretn ipconfig info

==============================================

Windows 2000 IP Configuration

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 3:

      Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
      IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.97.34.138
      Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.240.0
      Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.97.34.138

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

      Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : blah.com
      IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.5.82
      Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.0.0.0
      Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.1

==============================================

The script is use always returns the "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection" IP value of 10.0.5.82. I need the other one.

Thanks in Advance.

Hmmm,

Yes and no.

I have had that idea how do we know that the VPN client IP will always be the first IP that loop would encounter? It's a good idea but this script will be run on about 3 or 4 computers and i con't guarentee this would work 100%
