Hi,

I'm stuck with this problem and I don't know how to solve it.

I have made a client/server application and I want to make multi-clients connect to the server via the Lan network.
I distinguishes between each client using IP's.

My problem is how can I retrieve ip addresses for each client and put them as strings inside textbox?

Solution 1

When you already have the connection in your program.
It is not hard go get the remote endpoint IP address.

Check out TcpClient.Client.RemoteEndPoint under TcpClient [^] that has been created when you called AcceptTcpClient.

C#

string endPoint = tcpClient.Client.RemoteEndPoint.ToString();
Console.WriteLine("Remote endpoint is: " + endPoint);

Do a .ToString() on the RemoteEndPoint.

Without knowing more it is difficult to say, but if you are using Sockets it's no problem. If you use TCPClient then get the socket via the TCPClient.Socket property first.

Then all you need is the Socket.RemoteEndPoint[^] property. A quick ToString, and it's ready for your textbox!
