Can not confirm that ipinfo script was in Puppy 4.3 in year 2009 . Even lucid-218 as testing iso for lupu-511 did not include ipinfo in northern hemisphere autumn 2010 .darry1966 wrote:PostPosted: Today, at 00:27 Post subject: Reply with quote

Ok lets cut to the chase the older Pups namely in this case 5.11 Lucid never included this Icanzahip stuff in ipfinfo and worked without said feature as seen in this scrot. So the question is why is it needed in the new ones?????
You may want to look at line 21 of the /usr/sbin/ipinfo in luci-511 Wink
Ipinfo is actually in all the puppies since 2009, always querying icanhazip for the external IP. However, all the old puppies (till a couple of years back) never offer the option to inactivate this step.
As jamesbond explained above, there is no way to get that info unless you actually connect (not ping) somewhere.
Thank you Mathrothal and MochiMoppel for the clarifications. I shall look at line 21.
ipinfo should have its own thread here somewhere on murga-linux.com/puppy .
