How do I make vb2008 find my ip address

Get the hostname then pass the hostname to GetHostByName which provides an AddressList collection. From this collection, you reference the 0 index which is the first IP address representing your PC.

Example culled from search results:

Private Sub GetIPAddress()
Dim strHostName As String
Dim strIPAddress As String

strHostName = System.Net.Dns.GetHostName()
strIPAddress = System.Net.Dns.GetHostByName(strHostName).AddressList(0).ToString()

MessageBox.Show("Host Name: " & strHostName & "; IP Address: " & strIPAddress)
End Sub

i think you might have new ipv6 addresses which are hexidecimal format.
