Note: This is only a beta so bugs may exist in this extension. It also doesn't have an icon yet, and I'm willing to accept people's idea's for an icon or even

make the icon for me (I'll credit you for the icon) :)

The extension should be pretty easy to use, but I have included an example to show how it works.

Well done! :)

If you don't have a decent icon by tomorrow, I could get you one.

Thanks RickyRombo.
I plan to add features to it later, like getting more information from the device like its MAC address

Thanks. Would be helpful on laptops to determine which network(s) they're connected to (we have 2 separate networks- one accessible only via ethernet, and the other by wireless)

No problem. I have similar situation here, which made me want to create this extension :)
Upgrades to this extension will be coming later :)

Can this be used to loop through and show all the computer IP's on a LAN?

Precisely. That is it's primary function.

I believe I misread your question. It only gets the IP of the current user.

Ah ok, is there any way of doing this then? To show list of computers on the network like multiplayer LAN games?

IP scanning will probably be on the agenda for another object that Sortacore is working on. (Dark Socket) http://dark-wire.com/products.php .Best find out when this will be in the beta testing phse as last update I heard about it was 3 months ago.

This extension works on my PC, having MMF2 Developer installed, however when compiled and run on a different PC, it says "Cannot load LocalIP++.mfx. This object might need an external program or library not yet installed."
Could you please tell me how to fix it (like registering a dll, or copying another file into the destination directory, etc.)?

[EDIT:] Nevermind, I ended up fixing it (i think) by copying the "LocalIP++.mfx" file out of the extensions directory, and pasting it in the runtime one. Seems to have worked

It needs to be compiled with the correct linking. You should contact the author.
