Thanks! I entered comment in =INDEX(0,INDEX(0,MASTERNAME(),":"),"my comment ") and save it but nothing appears on the shape.

=INDEX(0,INDEX(0,MASTERNAME(),":"),"my comment ")
to evaluate to. Index just returns an integer, so what were you expecting to be placed in the Comment Cell?
You can create a custom property in the Shape and then when you edit the shapesheet, enter a reference to the cell within the custom property row you create for an IP address.
When you hover over a shape, the content of the Coment cell is displayed.

Before I continue to explain how to link the comment cell to this shape data, I must warn you that if you are planning on changing a lot of shapes, you should be working on the shape's master. Once the master is changed, all the occurrences will inherit the new feature.
Open the shapesheet for the shape and find the Miscellaneous section and the Comment cell. Select the Comment cell and then scroll back to the Shape Data section. Click on the value cell. This will place a formula in the Comment cell that references the value in the Shape Data record. Now any time you hover over the shape, a balloon will show containing the IP Address.
If you need to change the IP Address, you can open the shape data window for each shape and change the shape data. You can also link the shape data to an external database or Excel spreadsheet.
