Does anybody know how to obtain actual IP address (using comutated connection)?
ummm this code is a bit long........
but here ya go
add this to a module
Code:
Public Const WS_VERSION_REQD = &H101
Public Const WS_VERSION_MAJOR = WS_VERSION_REQD \ &H100 And &HFF&
Public Const WS_VERSION_MINOR = WS_VERSION_REQD And &HFF&
Public Const MIN_SOCKETS_REQD = 1
Public Const SOCKET_ERROR = -1
Public Const WSADescription_Len = 256
Public Const WSASYS_Status_Len = 128
Public Type HOSTENT
hName As Long
hAliases As Long
hAddrType As Integer
hLength As Integer
hAddrList As Long
End Type
Public Type WSADATA
wversion As Integer
wHighVersion As Integer

szSystemStatus(0 To WSASYS_Status_Len) As Byte

iMaxUdpDg As Integer
lpszVendorInfo As Long
End Type
Public Declare Function WSAGetLastError Lib "WSOCK32.DLL" () As Long
Public Declare Function WSAStartup Lib "WSOCK32.DLL" (ByVal wVersionRequired&, lpWSAData As WSADATA) As Long
Public Declare Function WSACleanup Lib "WSOCK32.DLL" () As Long
Public Declare Function gethostname Lib "WSOCK32.DLL" (ByVal hostname$, ByVal HostLen As Long) As Long
Public Declare Function gethostbyname Lib "WSOCK32.DLL" (ByVal hostname$) As Long
Public Declare Sub RtlMoveMemory Lib "kernel32" (hpvDest As Any, ByVal hpvSource&, ByVal cbCopy&)
Function hibyte(ByVal wParam As Integer)
hibyte = wParam \ &H100 And &HFF&
End Function

End

Exit Function
End If
RtlMoveMemory host, hostent_addr, LenB(host)
RtlMoveMemory hostip_addr, host.hAddrList, 4

Dim lReturn As Long
lReturn = WSACleanup()

MsgBox "Socket Error " & Trim$(Str$(lReturn)) & " occurred In Cleanup "
End
End If
End Sub
add this to a form with 2 textboxes and a command button
that will give both IP addresses(it gives my my intranet(static) and my internet(dynamic) IP)Code:Private Sub Command1_Click()
SocketsInitialize
Text1.Text = CurrentIP(True)
Text2.Text = CurrentIP(False)
End Sub
