I'm trying to create a VBScript which will detect if the computer it is being run on is connected to our LAN at work by checking its IPv4 address (assigned by DHCP) and then open a specific URL depending upon whether it is inside or outside our network. The script will be mainly used on laptops which will roam between work (10.12.90.0/22) and home (usually 192.168/23, but this could be anything really). In both cases I need to open the corect URL only once, because there will almost always be more than one network adapter (wired/wireless/bluetooth etc.).
The script below appears to work when I tested it, but not being a programmer I am not sure if there is a better way to do this. Ideally, I would like to avoid pinging servers because of the delay.
strComputer = "."
strInternal = "http://intranet/"
strExternal = "http://www.mydomain.com/"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration Where IPEnabled = True",,48)
For Each objItem in colItems
strIPAddress = objItem.IPAddress(0)
arrIPAddress = Split(strIPAddress, ".")
If (arrIPAddress(0) = "10") And (arrIPAddress(1) = "12") Then
ipChecked = 1
Run strInternal
Else
If ipChecked = 1 Then
WScript.Sleep(10)
Else
ipChecked = 1
Run strExternal
End If
End If
Next
Sub Run(ByVal sFile)
Dim shell
Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
shell.Run Chr(34) & sFile & Chr(34), 1, false
Set shell = Nothing
End Sub
