Re: Gathering Workstation IP Address

On my XP computer, the present network cards are located there :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces

You have a list of id for which card you have, select one and look at the
keys named "IP Adress", "Subnet Mask" and "Default Gateway".
In my case I use DHCP, so those keys are empty, you must see the ones named
"Dhcp Ip Adress", "Dhcp Subnet Mask" and "Dhcp Default Gateway"

With a little script you can collect those keys (you must first search for
the correct adapter, and then dump the values), and having your answer.
