Damn, I was quite sure this messy method of reading IP addresses from 
the registry will create some problems somewhen...

I will have to revise some lines of code in the getIPAddresses() method. 
Mainly I guess that the data in "IPAddresses" at
"HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\<interface>\"
is not really of type REG_MULTI_SZ. I will have to verify that on a 
machine with fixed IP address(es).

You might replace
var fixedIPs = getRegistryValue(regBase, "IPAddress").toArray();
by
var fixedIPs = null;

to work around the problem - however IP-based matches will not work then 
since no IPs will be found.

I will investigate.
