according to the user guide

Returns the IP address for the current user. If the IP address is not valid, the function will return an IP of: 0.0.0.0

Seems like I had this issue on my mac several months back. I found that I was getting the IPv6 for my machine back (::1) Can't remember what I did (I don't *think* I hacked this up for IPv6 addresses.) Do you have a debugger installed where you can step through the code and see what the ip address is (before the code that just outputs 0.0.0.0?)
