Here is another approach:

function myIP
   constant testIP = "1.0.0.1"  -- Any public IP should do. -- Dar
   open datagram socket testIP
   get hostAddress(testIP)
   close socket testIP
   return it
end myIP

Note that opening a datagram socket does not try to communicate with 
anything.

This works on most platforms but not OS X.  It does work on OS X with 
Revolution 2.5 beta, so there is a good chance this will worked with 
the 2.5 release.
