Getting external IP Address

[Guest]

Hi, im trying to get the public IPAddress of a computer programmatically. I
tried using

Net.DNS.GetHostEntry(Net.Dns.GetHostName()).AddressList(0)

but that only gives the inter-network IPAddress. how can i get the external
IP Address....if that makes any sense

thanks

You need to add a web reference such as...
http://www.mcwtech.com/webservices/whatismyip/addressinfo.asmx?op=GetAddress

then try something like:
Console.WriteLine(My.WebServices.AddressInfo.GetAddress())

Hope this helps.
