Getting Host name

I'm using the import java.net.*; package to determine the name of the machine I'm using (I need it to set up a socket).

Here is my code:

Code:

---

private static String GetHost () throws IOException {
       
                String MailHost;
                MailHost = InetAddress.getHostName ();//.getLocalHost(). getHostAddress ();
                return MailHost;
               
        }

---

When this compiles I get a non-static context error. How can I fix this?

Mach appreciated! :)

Most likely because your method is declared static. If you take out the static keyword then you should be alright.
