Hi all,
Did anyone find a handy juce class that can get the running machine’s IP in its LAN? ie 192.168.1.x
Or we have to do it in our own way… like using a NSHost on a mac, by which it may cause a lot of additional work because of mixing cpp and objc.
Thanks for any suggestion.
If you search on datagram sockets you’ll find some extensions/fixes for the sockets classes I posted. I added a helper class that let’s you create an array of all the IP addresses currently in use by a given machine, it works on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, and Linux. It’s probably a bit out of date. I think I fixed a few more streaming socket bugs since, and I think that the header files got refactored in the Juce master branch, but the helper class should be pretty self contained.
FWIW, I merged with the tip just the other day. Here is my mucked up juce_socket.cpp and juce_socket.h. I think all my changes are backwards compatible, but I never really checked. You could just yank IpAddress. You’d use it something like this:
Array<IpAddress> ips;
IpAddress::findAllIpAddresses (ips);
for (int n=0; n < ips.size(); ++n)
Logger::outputDebugString (ips[n].toString());Thanks jfitzpat, I’ve imported your class and it works after a few adjustments in header includes, I only have run it on a mac, i’ll try win later.

This is all excellent stuff! I should really add something along these lines to the library. Will try to find a spare hour to do that soon.
I only bothered with IPv4 for the IpAddress class. Same with all the datagram and streaming fixes, really just enough for my needs of the moment. After hacking URL to do Amazon’s weird REST stuff, I’ve been wishing I had time to do a while new set of juce modules for network stuff. Alas, unlike you, I have to sleep 5-6 hours each day… 
But at least some of the stuff, like enumerating all the adapters on the different platforms, might at least be a useful reference.
Has anyone gotten J_IPAddress to build on Windows? Want to share your edits?
Here ya go, this runs on Win 7.

Not yet - I meant to add something like this but never got chance to do so.
You can not imagine the pain and suffering you will save me by implementing this into JUCE!
I’ve added this now - feedback welcome!
I actually am just coming up for air from another project and need to do a little network/config tool. I’ll try the tip sometime over the next few days. Thanks!
