Is there a way to get the IP address from within a network? If I use
vdsonline.dll I can only get my computer's IP on the network - not the
network's IP.

I'd rather do it without having to connect to a remote server to have it
return the IP.

Any thoughts or advice would be very helpful. Very Happy

Did you try these netstat commands: Wink

netstat -n

netstat -p tcp

Thanks for the help... I'll certainly consider this way, but is there a way
with the API or something that returns a definite or null result?

not sure if this is going to help...there is a dos command that will return your ip address...you could then extract the info from the text file that you could make it create...the usual stuff...

the problem is that i can't remember the dos command

VDS Internet Suite 2 has an example showing how to do this, called resolver.

But bear in mind that if, like me, you're connected to the Internet using an external router, there is no way to find out the network IP address from Windows. You can only do it if a network adapter in the PC itself is the Internet gateway.

ipconfig is the dos command. It returns both IPs
