Getting external IP Address

[iwdu15]

Hi, im trying to get the public IPAddress of a computer programmaticall y. I
tried using

Net.DNS.GetHost Entry(Net.Dns.G etHostName()).A ddressList(0)

but that only gives the inter-network IPAddress. how can i get the external
IP Address....if that makes any sense

thanks

Re: Getting external IP Address

You need to add a web reference such as...

http://www.mcwtech.com/webservices/whatismyip/addressinfo.asmx?op=GetAddress

then try something like:
Console.WriteLi ne(My.WebServic es.AddressInfo. GetAddress())

Hope this helps.
