#123185 - DS_LitE - Mon Mar 26, 2007 12:07 am

Here is just a simple bat file i made to show the ip adress
because i got tired of typing run cmd then ipconfig and all that:
http://www.reupload.com/uploads/IPCONFIGAPP.zip

if you dont wont to download just open up notepad and type:
Code:
ipconfig
         echo IP Configuration Finished
         pause

and save the file under all files as ipconfigapp.bat

Wow...that is really something there...

You know you can see your IP address by simply clicking the "Support" tab on the properties page for that interface, right?

#123193 - DS_LitE - Mon Mar 26, 2007 1:24 am

yah but can you get the subnet mask and the default gateway too..?

#123194 - chuckstudios - Mon Mar 26, 2007 1:45 am

Wow. Just wow.

There is absolutely no reason for this to ever be posted.

Ever.

And, if you want to know the date.. but don't want to hold your mouse over the time, or don't have it displayed on your task bar, you can make this .bat file

Code:

@echo off
date /t
echo date display finished
pause

Perhaps we should tone-down on the newb bashing. It would have been better to just point out that most people knew this, rather than making fun of him too.

DS_LitE:
It is safe to assume that most people here know how to code their own batch scripts, configure their own system and generally know their way around their PC. Also, this is a DS forum. General PC related stuff might be better in Off Topic.

As simple as this is, it's useful for those who know very little about computers and are confused when a program like DS2Win asks for their IP address. Put it on your desktop, voila, IP in two clicks.

Plus if your behind a router, this would be incorrect (unless you wanted your local ip...)

Many DS applications are designed to retrieve information either from a server running on your PC or from a proxy running on your PC that reformats information from Internet-standard wire formats into some more DS-friendly format. In these cases, you want your PC's local IP address.

A better way is to type into the command prompt:
Code:
ipconfig /all

as this shows other information such as the gateway and DNS

Good point, hopefully he will release a patch for his program to add in that functionality.

I also hear he is considering releasing the next version under the GPL, but he is still deciding if he wants to wait on GPL v3 or not. He doesn't want to get locked in with the anti-DRM clauses, you know how it is.

#123513 - outphase - Wed Mar 28, 2007 7:06 pm

I've ported this to linux (at least the ubuntu flavor)

Code:
ifconfig

#123556 - chuckstudios - Thu Mar 29, 2007 2:44 am

I've ported it to Fedora Core 6 (well, this is how we do it at school, anyway)
Code:
/sbin/ifconfig

#123557 - Firon - Thu Mar 29, 2007 3:00 am

cmd /k ipconfig /all
run cmd and the command in one go without having cmd close immediately after.
