Who's IP address are you trying to get ?

Try this. It will get all of the IP addresses associated with your local interface.

Code:

---

Dim strHostName As String
Dim strIPAddress As String

strHostName = System.Net.Dns.GetHostName()

Dim iphe As Net.IPHostEntry = System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry(strHostName)

For Each ip As Net.IPAddress In iphe.AddressList
    Debug.WriteLine(ip.ToString)
    Select Case True
        Case ip.AddressFamily = Net.Sockets.AddressFamily.InterNetwork
            Stop 'IPv4
        Case ip.AddressFamily = Net.Sockets.AddressFamily.InterNetworkV6
            Stop 'IPv6
    End Select
Next

But what if he wants to get his public IP address ?

If the OP wants the public IP they will have to get a response from a site that provides the public IP, like http://checkip.dyndns.org/ and parse it. Depending on the ISP there is no guarantee that it is constant.

It would look something like this

Code:

---

        Dim myWebRequest As Net.WebRequest = Net.WebRequest.Create("http://checkip.dyndns.org/")
        Dim myWebResponse As Net.WebResponse = myWebRequest.GetResponse()
        Dim ReceiveStream As IO.Stream = myWebResponse.GetResponseStream()
        Dim encode As System.Text.Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8")
        Dim readStream As New IO.StreamReader(ReceiveStream, encode)
        Dim s As String = readStream.ReadToEnd
        Debug.WriteLine(s)
        myWebResponse.Close()
