Why No Built in GetMyIP call in LiveCode?

[Bob Sneidar]

This works for me. Methinks it is going to give you the address of the primary adapter. Do you have multiple adapters? Any bridging going on, like with Parallels networking? Also, if the hostname function is using DNS, then it may be that your DNS records are stale. This is just a guess though.
