          it's easy then just call shell("ipconfig" > "C:\ip.txt") it will create the text file at location C:\ip.txt it contains the ip and other things too. read it and get information and to get the computer name just use my.computer.name regards, koolprasad2003:)

                :wtf: The real question is, would you do that in your project?? Would you create a text file each time and read from it every time you want the ip address?:~ I'd bet that no customer would accept such a solution.

                    WMI [^]is a good option. This[^] may also help.
