I am making a file sharing application, using the winsock tool in VB6. I have tried a number of ways so far, including winsock1.LocalIP, but this returns the incorrect IP. I need the IP that is in WINIPCFG, and no other. Is there anyway i can extract the ip from the winipcfg file? I really need some assistance!!

Use the GetNetworkParams API. Go to for more info and an example.

Oops. That one is for Win98 or better.

Yah, The real problem is that the way we're running this it will give the local IP which could be a problem behind, say a router or a firewall ... ( BTW jonno is my partner on this project ) ... I have a router, and say my computers IP is 187.12.34.17, but my router's IP is 151.81.75.222, how can we transfer said files through the router to the proper computer ??
