How about including IP in the Personal Data Monitor Widget? Combined solution would save screenspace.

I edited the thread link. Not sure if that was the name though.

fiferboy, I noticed that you've been filling in the Depends field in debian/control manually so I've fixed it up a little to get the correct libraries it's using in there automatically: http://qwerty12.qole.org/personal-ip...s_0.2-2.tar.gz

(I do have an ulterior motive in doing so - I've written a simple brightness applet and was hoping you could look it over and tell me if I've ****ed anything up [on IRC, of course ]?)

Enhancement requests:

• Display the netmask (CIDR notanion is fine and uses minimal space).
• Display the default gateway.
• Display the public IP address (it can be discovered with libnice).
• Display IPv6 details if available (and supported, still unclear on that).

If anyone has any tips for simulating connections/disconnections in scratchbox they'd be very much appreciated.

icd(2) doesn't appear to be available in nokia-binaries... I'd just rip apart libconic to listen to a GConf key instead, or something

I was thinking about removing the title field and putting hte IP there to save space. There is no reason it should display the word "IP" three times (including the icon).

I think keeping it as a separate app from the dataplan monitor is a good idea, though, as some people will never use GPRS data and won't want to install that app. I will see what I can do about the other requests.

Thanks for the idea, qole

Keep this app separate, please....

It would be very cool to show all active IP addresses (except 127.0.0.1 of course) in case you have USB and/or BT networking as well. And if there's some way to find the "public" IP address, that would be cool too...

And I agree, no title is necessary here, although if there are multiple IP addresses it would be useful to know which interface has that address.

If you could discover the network name and put that on, it would be great.

wlan (adhoc1): 169.57.124.23

Any ideas on what the icon should look like? I was thinking a globe with a magnifying glass with the letters IP in the magnifying glass, I think that makes logical sense

IP Address Icons

Any Suggestions?

I like it, though I can't say which size is preferable due to me not having the device.

Though I was suggesting if you don't have it already, that tapping on the icon would refresh the IP address (say you disconnected from one network and connected to another). Which is pretty common on a wireless network at a University.

I'm just building 0.2-3 with joshua.maverick's new icon (thanks!). It also addresses the size issue by putting everything on one line. For a future version I will try to add some of the other suggestions here.
