Getting the IP-Address of the machine from batch scrip using “VirtualBox Host-Only”
0
I want to catch the IP-Address of my machine using a batch file.
I am using the below code:
for /f "delims= tokens=2" %%a in ('ping -4 -n 1 %ComputerName% ^| findstr [') do set IPAddress=%%a
echo IP-Adress is %IPAddress%
I have Virtual Box also installed in my system. So, an Ethernet adapter is also installed for the VB, with name Ethernet adapter VirtualBox Host-Only Network.
Now, whenever I am pinging my machine using ComputerName, I am getting the response from the VB Host-Only Network adapter.
ping %ComputerName% -4

if you have more than one interface, ping is not helpful. The netsh command gives you far more flexibity:
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('netsh interface ipv4 show addresses name^="Local Area Connection" ^|find "IP"') do for %%b in (%%a) do set "ip=%%b"
echo Your IP is: %ip%
Change Local Area Connection to your actual interface name (look for the exact name with netsh interface show interface)

Thanks Stephan. But, I cannot use this as, I will be using the same batch file across several machines. So, I need the solution to be as generic as possible.
– praveen345
Nov 23 '18 at 13:35
netshcomes with Windows XP with Service Pack 1 (SP1) and later. I surely hope you are not working with even older Windows versions.
– Stephan
Nov 23 '18 at 13:53
Thanks. Sorry for not mentioning my concern clearly. I cannot use netsh because: I will be using this batch file across several machines and for those machines the interface names might not be same.
– praveen345
Nov 26 '18 at 13:42
ok I understand. But if you have several adapters, how to choose the right one then?pingobviously can't decide correctly. When I'm right, the address you're looking for is one ofnetsh interface ipv4 show config | find "IP"? Which one?
– Stephan
Nov 26 '18 at 14:24
I want the one with name "Ethernet". However, I can use the batch file as long as there is no change in the network adapter or network adapter name And if there is any change in the N/W adapter name I need to update the batch file. Although the chance of changing adapter name is less, the chance of using the adapter to "Wi-Fi" is there. Is there any other alternative to this? (other than using netsh)
