Network interface IP adresses

[TheDuke]

I've been scouring the web for a finished style that would fit my desires.

Looking to show my wan IP, ethernet IP and Wifi IP
I do have other interfaces but they are not relevant in my situation.

I found https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?t=27988#p145400 that helped me on my way.
It seems that I can automatically get my wan and "Best" active network adapters IP, but how can I chose wich IP i select and show?

Thanks for a nice forum!

Do you have both your Ethernet and WiFi adapters active at the same time? Unless you are bridging connections or doing something special, normally Windows will pick one or the other, but not both. You can find out by opening a command prompt and entering ipconfig /all and you'll see your adapters and the IP address of each. If your machine is switching between adapters (i.e., only one active at a time), your best bet is to use "Best".
(Heh heh, see what I did there? )

If you really do have multiple active adapters, then you can simply use two measures to find the internal IPs, plus another for your external IP:

Code: Select all

[MeasureIPEthernet]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SysInfo
SysInfoType=IP_ADDRESS
SysInfoData=<name of your ethernet adapter>

[MeasureIPWifi]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SysInfo
SysInfoType=IP_ADDRESS
SysInfoData=<name of your wifi adapter>

[MeasureIPExternal]
Measure=WebParser
URL=https://ipv4.icanhazip.com
RegExp=(?siU)^(.*)$
StringIndex=1

The name of your adapter is shown by the above ipconfig command, as "Description".

Thank you for your help!

I did see what you did

And i learned how measures "work" that they are another place in the config.
I figured that the up and download speeds are still from "best" adapter and so shows where im connected to the internet?
This is a help when i at work are connected to 2 networks for setting up equipment.

Is there a way so tha ti can click the IP and have windows open up settings for that adapter for easy setting new IP?

With some code from this post i got this output
https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?t=31511#p159464

If you really do have multiple active adapters, then you can simply use two measures to find the internal IPs, plus another for your external IP:

Code: Select all

[MeasureIPEthernet]
Measure=Plugin

SysInfoType=IP_ADDRESS
SysInfoData=<name of your ethernet adapter>

[MeasureIPWifi]

SysInfoData=<name of your wifi adapter>

[MeasureIPExternal]

The name of your adapter is shown by the above ipconfig command, as "Description".

I figured that the up and download speeds are still from "best" adapter and so shows where im connected to the internet?
This is a help when i at work are connected to 2 networks for setting up equipment.

Actually, based on that code, your upload/download speeds are probably for ALL adapters, not just the best one. You can fix this to get the speeds for specific adapters like this (for example):

Code: Select all

[measureNetInEthernet]
Measure=NetIn
Interface="Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (6) I219-V"
NetInSpeed=#maxDownload#
; NetInSpeed must be set so your maximun download speed for the download bar to scale correctly

[measureNetOutEthernet]
Measure=NetOut
Interface="Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (6) I219-V"
NetOutSpeed=#maxUpload#

[measureNetInWiFi]
Measure=NetIn
Interface="Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9560 160MHz"
NetInSpeed=#maxDownload#
; NetInSpeed must be set so your maximum download speed for the download bar to scale correctly

[measureNetOutWiFi]
Measure=NetOut
Interface="Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9560 160MHz"
NetOutSpeed=#maxUpload#

You can then add additional meters to display the separate ethernet/wifi values.

Is there a way so tha ti can click the IP and have windows open up settings for that adapter for easy setting new IP?

On the meter you want to click on, add the following line:

Code: Select all

LeftMouseUpAction=[Shell:::{7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}]

However, I don't think you can jump right to the exact adapter, but that's how you'd add an action that would do it. Another way I use is to allow double-clicking anywhere on the skin to pop up the dialog. In the [Rainmeter] section, add:

Code: Select all

LeftMouseDoubleClickAction=[Shell:::{7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}]

There are several network shortcuts you can use. All are listed here: https://docs.rainmeter.net/tips/launching-windows-special-folders/
