IP addresses in VB

[benlinkknilneb]

Hey, I'm writing a program that's using a WinSock... I want to automate it though, so the user doesn't have to enter a lot of "technical" stuff... is there an API call or something i can use to return My IP address?

Thanks in advance...
Ben

you mean to return other computers IP address??
if you want to return the local IP address, you can use LocalIP property of the Winsock control.

thanks alfred... i had always assumed that LocalIP property was programmer-defined, as in, i'd have to get the IP and put it there myself... thanks again!
