I was hopping to use a platform independent command within IDL,
something perhaps that uses socket or idlneturl object. I would like
to avoid spawn.
I could do ifconfig, but it will platform dependent.
The background is to implement a configuration file which depends on
which computer are you. I am using a linux with ubuntu 11.04 at home
and a windows 7 at work. Some colleagues have mac OS X. We have a
server with the data but we usually create a local copy to work on it
and push the changes at the end of the day.

Public/WAN or private/LAN? What OS? On unix or mac, you can spawn the following:
curl whatismyip.org
On OS X the following works to give your LAN IP, I'm not sure if this works on other unix-based systems:
ifconfig | grep broadcast | awk "{print \$2}"
