Detect Gateway IP address in windows

[MisterX]

Mark

Although correct this assumes you only have one network card (NIC),
which I've seen becoming rare lately... ;)

I have 4 of which 2 are virtual for vmwares and 1 is my wifi 
intra-home-net, and the remaining internet dsl...

Here's a slightly modified function with an xos twist 
(IOW, generalise any function for reuse on any occasion).

...
put getW32IpInfos("gateway")
...

function getW32IpInfos what
   local ipStuff

   put shell("ipconfig /all") into ipStuff
   filter ipStuff with "*" & what & "*"
   set the itemdelimiter to ":"
   repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in ipstuff
     put last item of line x of ipstuff into line x of ipstuff
   end repeat
   return ipStuff
end getW32IpInfos

But I think it would be nicer to have an array with each NIC's
properties. This is a planned function for the xos network 
manager.

But as someone said, it's rather useless unless you're solving
net problems...

cheers
