I can't read!

I did not read your script right.  Thanks for responding to my dumb 
reply!  (In an environment in my dark past, variables were prefixed 
with 'the' and I kept reading a variable name, not a property.)

And this works on my OS X, too.

This also provides a hint as to why hostNameToAddress() does not work 
with my computer name.  It needed ".local" after it.  Maybe my computer 
name is not what I thought.

I assume you are on Windows.  What OS?

BTW, on OS X getting the text up to the colon is not needed; it works 
with all of the address.

Now, for Mac OS 9...
