Getting Host name

[MethadoneBoy]

I'm using the import java.net.*; package to determine the name of the machine I'm using (I need it to set up a socket).

Here is my code:

private static String GetHost () throws IOException {
	
		String MailHost;
		MailHost = InetAddress.getHostName ();//.getLocalHost(). getHostAddress ();
		return MailHost;
		
	}

When this compiles I get a non-static context error. How can I fix this?

Mach appreciated!

Most likely because your method is declared static. If you take out the static keyword then you should be alright.
