Here's a script I have that does this:

set the itemdel to ":"
get HostNameToAddress(item 1 of the address)

The address function should work without a connection to the internet.  
However, the hostNameToAddress() function does a DNS lookup, and as such 
requires an internet connection to work properly.  (See the entry in the 
Transcript Dictionary for hostNameToAddress for more information about 
this.)
