Automatically Getting IP address of computer on network

[Guest]

Hi
I need to get the IP address of a computer on the network that uses dynamic
IP addressing. Is there anyway I get the address but providing the name of
the computer?

Thanks in advance

Have you looked into the IPAddress class?

Terp,

No I have not but I used IPAddress =
System.Net.Dns.GetHostByName(hostname).AddressList(0).ToString()

Which works if i am running it on the server but not from other computer on
the network.

Al,

No I have not but I used IPAddress =
System.Net.Dns.GetHostByName(hostname).AddressList(0).ToString()

I did not know that that IPAddress class, so I am glad I saw it in the
message from Terp

However, you make me curious, you ask a question get a solution and tell
than that you have your own solution.

Why do you than ask this question?

(You even make me as well curious if your question should not be I want the
IP address of the in the program used workstation. Instead of any
workstation in the network what now your question is and for what you got an
answer from Terp).

The first one is:
Dim IPAdd As String = System.Net.Dns.Resolve _
(SystemInformation.ComputerName).AddressList(0).ToString
