All the OS's, answers 127.0.0.1 if you ask for localhost.
localhost = 127.0.0.1 = this machine
If you don't want to check the ethernet interfaces, one of the best ways is *ping* to the machine name. On Windows systems, the command hostname, answers the machine's name.
I don't know how Squeak works for this.

I doubt that - ifconfig most certainly gives you *both*, 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.4.
Yes , I have some similar to Davide Arrigo mail.
Ian Piumarta extended the plugin to actually support getting more addresses, it is in his latest sources. I think work is underway to port this to other platforms. To use the extended primitives you need new support code, which is ... somewhere, Michael Rüger did that. It's in the OLPC image, for example (which needed to support IPv6 and that was the reason for the new plugin).

I try this. As I said, I need eth0 answer. If I start some game in this machine, I need 192.168.x.y for using in Firefox or Safari form other computer. I just discover if I use Nebraska, the Listener in Mac Squeak image works and gives 192.168.1.4. So I need dig on how works for send intended IP .
Very thanks !
