    Hey, I've recently started using Rainmeter on my computers. I found I loved it, but no skin seemed to work quite right for me, so I made my own. Works perfectly! I plucked a bit of code from the default "Tranquil" config file to make it work for me.
    So I saved this config file, brought it to my other computer, and tried to run it. Lo and behold, it will not show the IP address. (It displays as 0.0.0.0) or the gateway (doesn't show up as anything at all)
    And, this isn't just a problem with my created skin, because it doesn't show it in the "Tranquil - System" skin either. Did I do something wrong by transferring it from one computer to the other? Could it be my firewall settings? Help!
    Also, speaking of my flash drive, neither Rainmeter skin will recognize it. They will see my C: drive, telling me free space, used space, total space, etc. But my F: drive appears as being 1.0B used, 0.0B free, and 0.0B total. (obviously, that's not true.)
    I've tried restarting my computer for both problems; nothing changed. Are they related?
    Thanks in advance!
