Getting the IP

How can I get the IP of the client? I have the code setup like this;

VB Code:

CData.structSocket = Server_Tcp.AcceptSocket()
            Interlocked.Increment(connectId)
            CData.structThread = New Thread(AddressOf ReadSocket)
            CData.SelfID = connectId

Do i need something extra?

hmm you may want to post just a wee bit more of your code to demonstrate exactly what you're trying to do.

Did you want the internal or external ip?

try this

using system.net;

string hostname = Dns.GetHostName();
IPHostEntry local = Dns.GetHostByName(hostname);
local.AddressList.GetValue(0);
MessageBox.Show(local.AddressList.GetValue(0).ToString());

one could suspect that the user requesting help is asking how to retrieve the IP address of clients connecting to a server.. not his own local IP address

though as I stated above, they need to provide some more of their source code.

we need to know what they are using to implement their server.
