Even if there's no shell/system object for windoes (I'm not using win so I cannot really answer) you can easily create a batch script (a windows shell script) that saves the output of ipconfig in a file. Then parse the file with pd and extract the ip from there.

It can even by dynamic in the sense that your shell script can be a sort of cron (linux scheduled jobs, I think are called sheduled services in win) and can run a number of times. Thus your game could see the file for the lastest IP.

Hi all,

Is it possible to get my computer's IP from inside Pd? I know it's possible in Linux using the shell object, but it doesn't exist in windows. I'm trying to make a game requiring two players to play on two different computers, and it'd be very annoying if each user had to find her IP before playing.
