surely there is a way...

[DevGrp]

Dim ipHost As System.Net.IPHostEntry = System.Net.Dns.GetHostByName(System.Net.Dns.GetHostName())
 
Dim ip As System.Net.IPAddress() = ipHost.AddressList
 
Label1.Text = ip(0).ToString()

You can also enumerate the ip array and get all the ip address thats asociated with your machine.

Hope that helped.
