Get current IP

I guess the forum should allow short words for searching. 4 letters is too much. How about if you need to look for "Err 5": None of those words would be allowed. I'm gonna post this on the "forums feedback"

Ok, let's go to the problem. How can I get my current IP (trhough VB)?

Use the Winsock control.

how?

Surely you can get your own IP address without having to use an activeX control!?!?!?

If not, then thats a bit shocking:eek:

Still, i've found wierder things in VB :)

Is there an API to get the current IP address or something similar?

VB Code:

'this is the easiest way.   you might be able to get 
'somewhere messing around with Wininet.dll
Label1.Caption = Winsock1.LocalIP

Here is the best way to find ALL ip

so the IP that you get from

VB Code:

Text1.Text = Winsock1.LocalIP

is the IP that you can recieve chat messages through if someone else has that IP? Or is it a different one?

The code I have posted give all IP and not the first IP than it find. In my computer who is in Network I have two ip and sometime it find the 192.0.0.1 and some time the real one. So you should use my link :)
