Problem with finding Find IP Address ??

[omarswan]

Can Someone Help Me With this Problem?

When I'm online and I use the file winipcfg to find my IP Adrress I get a value such as
"152.175.235.164" - which I know is Correct.

But in vb when I use for example :
Winock1.LocalIP I get a value such as
"4.9.97.70"

What can use or what can I do to get the value such as "152.175.235.164"

Thanks,
OmarSwan.

What the Winsock control is doing is getting your static IP address, which is the one set in the Network Properties (from Control Panel).
I tried all the examples of getting an IP addr that I had, and they all returned the network IP address.

It might have to do with the "Subnet Mask". If you go to a DOS prompt and type "ipconfig", you'll see this. Maybe that will put you in the right direction.

I see the problem, but I don't know how to fix it! The Winsock (or whatever you are using) is returning the IP address of your ethernet adapted and not your modem! How you get around this I don't know.
