Hi,
I'm using vb08 and I'm trying to get the public ip address. I used this code
but for some reason it's not working:
Dim lblPIp As IPAddress
lblPIp = Dns.GetHostEntry(Dns.GetHostName).AddressList.GetV alue(0)

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi,

That can be retrieved using a a 3rd-party IP detection web server
cınbined with WebClient object:

Using client As New System.Net.WebClient
' Get it in MsgBox
MsgBox(client.DownloadString _
("http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp"))
End Using

Don't know which of the IPs you consider "public".

Thank you Onur Güzel, works great. But would I be able to view the ip
address in a label/text box instead of a message?

Never mind, I did this and it worked... Thank you very much

lblPIp.Text =
(client.DownloadString("http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp")
