I tried ipEntery.AddressList.GetValue(0).ToString in a messagebox
but it only displays link-local ipv6 address o f"fe80::28d3:3882:3490:1a95%11" is their another way of obtaining local ipv4 address directly?
heres the script basically it sets (supposed to) Local area connection ipv4 static ip address to 10.XX.XX.2 but it dosent work it works fine if you run cmd as addy and put the script in netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static 10.XX.XX.2
Dim txtlen As Integer = Len(TextBox2.Text)
Dim IPAddy As String = ""
Dim asciiSplit(4) As Char

I'm trying to get the ip address of my local PC, and one one of my other PCs it gets the v4 address fine, but on this one the code:
Dns.GetHostEntry(Dns.GetHostName).AddressList(0).ToString()
returns what I guess is a IPv6 address:
fe80::9c09:e2e:4736:4c62%11
How do I get the IPv4 address?
How can I return the IPv4 address in VB.Net? E.g. 192.168.1.5
View 3 RepliesI have the following code:
Dim ipAdd As IPAddress = Dns.GetHostEntry(strHostname).AddressList(0)
Dim strIP As String = ipAdd.ToString()
When I convert to String instead of an IPv4 address like 192.168.1.0 or similar I get the IPv6 version: fd80::5dbe:5d89:e51b:d313 address. Is there a way I can return the IPv4 address from IPAddress type?

View 4 RepliesIn the past I have written applications that communicate over the network. These have always made use of the System.Net and System.Net.Sockets classes and communicated over TCP connections. The connections have always required an IP address and a port. As these applications have been used by myself and colleages, setting up port forwarding and various other network settings has never been a problem. However, when developing an application for use by the general public, it obviously not a good idea to assume the user is capable of managing these settings.
