Re: how to take both IP addresses
well when you are behind a router your computer can't tell that there is a wan IP address... so I don't know how you would be able to get this information via code. If someone has an answer I would like to see it as well, because as far as I know it isn't possible

yea i've been looking into it, the only way i can think of doing it (i cnat find an api either) is going to a page such as www.whatismyip.com and looking there (i'm not sure about code)
I'll see what i cna find though because it is an interesting point

Re: how to take both IP addresses
This page is just a SSI script.
Probably this one:
Code:
<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR" -->
I believe you could make a prog that grubs the info from this page.
I don’t think there’s a way of knowing the IP that is given to you by your isp cuz it comes till your router.
In other words it doesn’t reach your PC…

Haven't tested this :
VB Code:
Dim strName As String
Private Sub Form_Load()
txtUrl.Text = "http://checkip.dyndns.org/"
txtIP = (Inet1.OpenURL(txtUrl.Text))
strName = Replace(txtIP, "<html><head><title>Current IP Check</title></head><body>Current IP Address: ", "")
strName = Replace(strName, "</body></html>", "")
txtIP.Text = strName
End Sub

Thats what i was thinking a way to parse the HTML, but couldnt think how to do it

Re: how to take both IP addresses
yea its impossible to get the external ip unfortunatly without using something on the "outside" to comunicate with 
i used to use a free hosting site brinkster.com and just returned the clients ip in an asp page there
