Find out the IP-number of your computer using winsock

by  Painkiller  Posted    (Edited  )
I use this method to find out the IP-adress of a computer instead of using an API.

Install the microsoft winsock 6.0 control in your project and drag it to your form. Place a textbox and commandbutton in your form.

use the following code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()

Text1.Text = Winsock1.LocalIP

End Sub

You can also find out the name of your computer with the following code (with a second textbox):

Text2.Text = Winsock1.LocalHostName
