This will give you the public ip if you are behind a proxy.

The best way to grab a list of all the ip addresses attached to your local system is using the IPHelper[^] library. You'll need to include the IPHlpApi.h and winsock2.h header files, then add iphlpapi.lib and ws2_32.lib to your list of import libraries.

MIB_IPADDRTABLE *pIPAddrTable = NULL;
DWORD dwSize = 0;
DWORD dwRetVal = 0;

if (GetIpAddrTable(pIPAddrTable, &dwSize, 0) != ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER )
{
printf( "Error getting buffer size." );
}
else
{
pIPAddrTable = ( MIB_IPADDRTABLE * ) malloc ( dwSize );

if ( (dwRetVal = GetIpAddrTable( pIPAddrTable, & dwSize, 0 ) ) != NO\_ERROR )
{
	printf("GetIpAddrTable failed.\\n");
}

for( int i = 0; i < pIPAddrTable->dwNumEntries; i ++ )
{
	in\_addr add;
	in\_addr subnet;

	ZeroMemory( & add, sizeof( in\_addr ) );
	ZeroMemory( & subnet, sizeof( in\_addr ) );
	add.S\_un.S\_addr = pIPAddrTable->table\[ i \].dwAddr;
	subnet.S\_un.S\_addr = pIPAddrTable->table\[i\].dwMask;

	printf("IP Address:         %s\\n", inet\_ntoa( add ) );
	printf("IP Mask:            %s\\n\\n", inet\_ntoa( subnet ) );
}

free( pIPAddrTable );

}

I think he would like to get ipaddress using Visual C++ code instead of go cmd line. :laugh:

Hi, This works for me, CString sLocalIp; HOSTENT *hs = NULL; UCHAR ch[4] = {0}; CHAR szHostName[50]={0}; // get name of machine if ( SOCKET_ERROR == ::gethostname((LPSTR)(LPCTSTR)szHostName, 50) ) { return GetLastError(); } hs = gethostbyname((LPSTR)(LPCTSTR)szHostName); if ( hs == NULL ) { return GetLastError(); } // h_addr contains ip address memcpy(ch, hs->h_addr,4); // form string sLocalIp.Format("%d.%d.%d.%d", ch[0], ch[1], ch[2], ch[3]); Hope this is also correct method.(((??)))

The problem with that method is that it will only pullback one IP, the question was how do you retrieve the IP address for my local computer, it's quite possible to have several NIC's all with several IP addresses. The server sitting under my desk has 3 different IP's for instance. But yeah, your way does work aswell :) Gavin Taylor w: http://www.gavspace.com -- modified at 7:59 Monday 2nd January, 2006
