Ok, had to share this, pretty nifty:
Step 1: Create a batch script called ip_address.bat in your scripts folder
ipconfig > y:\admin\ipconfig.out
setx ip_address -f y:\admin\ipconfig.out -a 6,14 -m
I used y:\admin as the temp dir because our users have their My Documents
folders redirected to y:\ and we added the admin folder so we could store
things they need to follow them around, you can replace it with something
else if you do things differently.
Step 2: Edit the following registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{
208D2C60-3AEA-A2D7-08002B30309D}\<no name>
delete the key, then recreate as REG_EXPAND_SZ instead of REG_SZ
change the value from My Network Places to
%IP_ADDRESS% My Network Places
Step 3: Add ip_address.bat to your list of logon scripts
If you deploy this domain wide, you can have any user give you their IP
address nearly without effort by telling them to look at their My Network
Places icon.
NOTE: Editing the registry is dangerous, if you make a mistake and didn't
make a backup first, don't come crying to me as I will merely heap scorn
upon you. *grin*
