I found this post from a few years ago-



If this is true then I suppose it is not necessary to log the IP Address in the data file since it is stored in the data file name.  However, the computer.macaddress command also has not worked on my machine which would be good to have.  

Thanks again for your help!

computer.ipaddress is an indexed property. A computer can have multiple network interfaces with a different IP assigned to each. As detailed in the documentation:

"ipaddress property
This property reports the IP addresses assigned to the computer.

Applies to
<computer>

Remarks
This is a collection property containing a list of all of the IP Addresses assigned to a computer. Computers typically have only one IP Address but may have more if they have multiple network cards. If the computer is located within a LAN, the computer may be assigned an IP address that is not globally unique.

Examples
The following displays the ip address in a text stimulus:

<text sometext>
/ items= ("correct = <% computer.ipaddress.1 %>")
</text>
"
Thus computer.ipaddress.1 will return the IP assigned to the machine's 1st network interface. computer.ipaddress alone does not mean / return anything, hence the error.

computer.macaddress is also a collection property. The reason is the same as with computer.ipaddress.

Note that additional technical information -- including a connecting client's public IP -- is available via the Web Logs section of your account ( https://www.millisecond.com/myaccount/logs.aspx ).

Thank you Dave that was very helpful!
