get ip address of this pc with windows app

[cj]

How can a windows app get the ip address of the machine it is running
on? vb 2005

CJ,

This is how to get the internal IP address:

Imports System.Net

Dim ipAddress As IPHostEntry = Dns.GetHostByName(Dns.GetHostName)
Me.Text = ipAddress.AddressList.GetValue(0).ToString

I hope this helps,

had to change it a bit but it works

Dim ipAddressInfo As IPHostEntry = Dns.GetHostEntry(Dns.GetHostName())
Dim ipAddress As String = ipAddressInfo.AddressList.GetValue(0).ToString

Hi CJ,

You're right that Dns.GetHostByName is obsolete in .NET 2.0,
Dns.GetHostEntry should be used instead.
