vb.net get my ip

98 New Member
I want to get my ip.

When i try to do this:

MsgBox(System.N et.Dns.GetHostB yName(System.Ne t.Dns.GetHostNa me).AddressList (0).ToString)

I get the ip within my LAN.

When i surf to http://whatismyip.com/ I get the ip I want to get in my vb.net program.

How can I do this?

This may not be the direction were wanting to take, but WhatIsMyIP has an automation page. You could do an HttpWebRequest, and use the response, like this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Dim ipReq As HttpWebRequest
  2. ipReq = WebRequest.Create("http://whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp")
  3. Dim sr As New System.IO.StreamReader(ipReq.GetResponse().GetResponseStream())
  4. Dim ipAdd As String
  5. ipAdd = sr.ReadToEnd()
  6.  
For some reason, it seems like the code tags are screwing up a bit. There shouldn't be a space on line 3 at the .GetResponseStr eam())

ok, I have a server to which clients can connect.

I would like to know how I can find the external ip (in the server) of such a client, without the use of such an internet page.

Thx

Hello, I don't know if it is only me but I was sure that header("Location:url") redirects the browser instantly to URL, or at least stops the execution of the code. But appearantely it continues to execute the code until the browser send his reply to the header instruction. So an exit(); after each redirection won't hurt at all
