$MachineAddresses

$MachineAddresses

gives a list of strings specifying the current IP addresses associated with the computer on which the Wolfram System is being run.

Details

  • $MachineAddresses gives {} if no network address is defined, so that the computer is effectively "offline".
  • $MachineAddresses will typically give a list with one element for each network adapter on your computer.
  • If a network configuration is changed, the value of $MachineAddresses may change during the course of a single Wolfram System session.

Examples
