    finding the local IP address without socket connection?

    Hello,

    I was wondering if anybody knew how to retrieve the IP address attributed
    dynamically by your ISP without having to use the info collected
    on a socket with say .getLocalAddres s.

    I'm using dsl with PPPoE and whenever i try to get the local address,
    through InetAddress, the network address is returned. So i'm guessing that
    InetAddress is out.My network is in the way and i don't think i can really go
    around it. I can't seem to find any class that could help me out.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

      hi
      not a good solution but definitely workaround one.
      you can use exec to get all ipaddress using say "ipconfig -all" on win
      platform & then parse the output
      u can try this if nuthin else works or you need quick workaround soln
      ;)

          Yeah i guess so but i was looking for a friendly and portable java
          related solution of course ;}.
          Right now, i'm using the method of connecting to www.yahoo.com on port
          80 to get my own ip address
          from the resulting temporary socket; its alright but i'd like to be
          able to determine the same address
          without having to involve a third party like im doing right now. In
          that case, the InetAddress class seems
          inadequate and so is the InetSocketAddre ss (which im using right now)
          since it involves
          a connected socket.

          Any other idea?

                  hi
                  have you checked java.net.Networ kInterface class ?
                  you can print details of your network card.
                  regards

                          Ahhhh!!! Wonderful

                          I wasn't aware of the existence of this class. Thanks a bunch for the info. This
                          should do the trick.

                          Thanks again :).
