Yep sorry Volkan,
I'm not real flash at getting my piont across clearly, so here is the full senario....
I am using Win 98, dial-up server on my machine.
I have created an entry page on my server (Apache, PHP4) That is availble at
http:yeah/gr (Intranet only)
So my mates dial-up my machine, and enter http:yeah/gr in thier browser and get taken throu to the page.
Here is the tricky part.....
They need to know the IP adress of my dial-up adapter so it can be entered into the MP game screen, however as you Know, until they actually dial my server my local IP adress is 127.0.0.1, which changes as soon as they dial in.
winipcfg lets ME know the newly negotiated IP adress but with out editing the web page every time we want to play I have no way of letting the bloke at the other end know what the Ip address is.
If there is a simple PHP script that I could insert into the entry page to display my currant Ip address it would be a lot easier.
I am not familiar with PHP scripting. I do use the phakt Dreamweaver UD extension to generate PHP scripts to query Mysql databases, with a high degree of sucess... (yes I can sense the shudder of PHP coders upon reading that

)
PHP, Phakt, Mysql, Phpmyadmin, Dreamweavern UD are a truly awesome team whereby, a humble boilermaker/welder, such as my self can aspire to dot com greatness

.
The game bit is simply an unhealthy distraction I could, reluctantly, probably do without.
Thanks Al.....
