An easy way would be to add a winsock control and then code in,

Text1(or whatever) = Winsock1.LocalIP

Thanks and Good Luck!

Make sure that you have SP5 installed. Under the Project menu select components (Ctrl-T). Scroll untill you find 'Microsoft Winsock Control 6.0 (SP5)'. Select it with the corresponding check box and click apply. It should now appear in your toolbox. Select it and draw it on a form.

Thanks and Good Luck!
