How to get external IP address?

[Tim]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows how to get the external IP address (the
address beyond the router [or several routers]) using C# code? Basically
this is the address that appears on the internet.

Thanks

Hi,

See if this helps: System.Net.Dns.GetHostByName() OR GetHostAddresses()

hmmm, I don't think what you're asking is possible. I think you'd need a web
service external to your LAN that you could call, so the web service could
tell you who had contacted it. Your .Net code won't know what's beyond it's
local network.
