Hi,
I've outlined a few issues that prevent Sys::HostIP from retrieving IP
addresses on Vista, Server 2008 & non-English systems.
1) Windows Vista and Server 2008
The output from ipconfig now seems to prepend lines containing an
adapters IP addresse with "IPv4 Address" rather than "IP Address".
C:\>ipconfig
Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe10::ae5b:b47:bae3:904e%11
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.23.11
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
Tunnel adapter Local Area Connection* 6:
Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Tunnel adapter Local Area Connection* 7:
Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
2) Non-English systems
The ipconfig command on a Swedish Windows Server 2008 system will give
something of the form:
C:\>ipconfig
IP-konfiguration f�r Windows
Ethernet-anslutning Anslutning till lokalt n�tverk:
Anslutningsspecifika DNS-suffix . :
L�nklokal IPv6-adress . . . . . . : ff88::b6fa:c6e1:9a9a:9114%10
