Hi guys...

Now I too have the same problem...Is there any solution for this ???

[mendhak]

(Import System.NET first)

Dim strHost As String
strHost = Dns.GetHostName()

Dim iphe AS IPHostEntry
iphe = Dns.GetHostByName(strHost)

mendhak's code only gets the ip address and hostname of the machine that the code is running on

Hi,

Use the System.Net.DNS class, which provides de shared GetHostName and GetHostByName methods.

Try this;

Dim HostName As String
Dim IPAddress As String
 
' Look up the host name and Ip address
 
HostName = System.Net.Dns.GetHostName()
IPAddress = System.Net.Dns.GetHostByName(HostName).AddressList(0).ToString()
 
Console.WriteLine("Host name:" & HostName)
Console.WriteLine("IP address:" & IPAddress)

Hope it helps,
