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



Pinging CTH-0098 [192.168.56.1] with 32 bytes of data:

But my actual system IP-Address is 192.168.0.100

How to catch this IP address?

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)
