hello... Good day to all you... i just want to ask if is there something wrong with my codes in finding my own ipaddress using other networked PC...

VB

dim strhostname as string 
dim strIPaddress as string
strhostname = "mycomputer's_hostname"
strhostname = system.net.dns.gethostname()
stripaddress = system.net.dns.gethostname(strhostname).addresslist(0).tostring()
textbox1.text = stripaddress

i already had my import like system.net. Anybody here could help me? i tried this code but it didn't work... is there any shorter way than this? thanks in advance..

Take a look at the following link:

How To Get IP Address Of A Machine[^] also, take a look at the comments, better way to get the IP is:

System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces()[0].GetIPProperties().UnicastAddresses[0].Address

Also, Local IP[^]
