get local host ip address

[JoeKenZ]

For the convience of the end user, I would like to post the ip address of the host computer on the front panel of the progam.  Is there a vi or something that will return the local ip address?

In a Command Prompt window, ipconfig

I don't want to have to explain to the end user how to obtain the ip address so I want to display it in the program.

Thanks - That does it but it gave me the ip address of the wireless network connection.  I supposed that would be fine, but is there a way to force it to give the ip address too the ethernet adaptor?

Okay I've got it figured out.  Thanks for the help.
