Get specific IP address of PC regardless of which adapter.

Question

Hi There i have a program that is trying to get the IP address of any PC on our netowrk I have been using the below semi-successfully yet it will only work if an IP address actually exists in the first list. string HostName = Dns . GetHostName (); Dns . GetHostEntry ( HostName ). AddressList [ 0 ]. ToString () however the problem arises when the entry 0 does not exist and it is actually entry 1 or 2 for that matter.. How can i go around this so that no matter which entry actually has the IP address of 192.168.XXX.XXX it will p[ick it up and tell me the whole IP. Thanks in advance

public static string GetLocalIPAddress() { var host = Dns.GetHostEntry(Dns.GetHostName()); foreach (var ip in host.AddressList) { if (ip.AddressFamily == AddressFamily.InterNetwork) { return ip.ToString(); } } throw new Exception(Local IP Address Not Found!); }

Try this code string hostName = Dns.GetHostName(); // Retrive the Name of HOST Console.WriteLine(hostName); // Get the IP string myIP = Dns.GetHostByName(hostName).AddressList[0].ToString(); Console.WriteLine(My IP Address is :+myIP); Console.ReadKey();

Get specific IP address of PC, regardless of which adapter.
