Hi James,

there don't seem to be existing definitions on the net, so use WMI, it is
far easier.

The following code returns an Array of Strings with the IP-addresses for
_all_ adapters on the local machine.

//add a reference to System.Management
using System.Management;
private string[] GetIPAddresses()
{
string[] addresses = null;
try
{
ArrayList Temp = new ArrayList();
ManagementObjectSearcher query = new ManagementObjectSearcher(
"SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration ") ;
ManagementObjectCollection queryCollection = query.Get();
foreach (ManagementObject mo in queryCollection )
{
if ((bool)mo["IpEnabled"])
{
string[] ips = (string[])mo["IPAddress"];
foreach (string s in ips)
{
Temp.Add (s);
}
}
}

if (Temp.Count > 0)
{
addresses = new string[Temp.Count];
Temp.CopyTo (addresses);
}
else
{
addresses = new string[0];
}
}
catch (Exception) {}
return addresses;
}


Cheers

Thanks - I had come to the conclusion that unless i recreate the function,
then I would have to use C++ - a learning curve too much at present. The wmi
seems like a good option - thanks
