Machines IP Address

I want to know how I can set my machines IP address in c# coding?;) Sweet

There's nothing in the .NET FCL that allows you to set your machine's IP address. In fact, it's not a good idea to, anyway. It's not like some user preference that could be changed often. In any case, such an API is not documented in the Platform SDK. Obviously there's some way to do it, but that doesn't mean it's documented. If you want to get the machine's IP address, a simple way is like so:

string name = Environment.MachineName;
IPHostEntry host = Dns.GetHostByName(name);
foreach (IPAddress address in host.AddressList)
if (address.AddressFamily == AddressFamily.InterNetwork)
return address;
return null;

This would get the IPv4 address, for example.
