Get local IP address

Question

In the internet there are several places that show you how to get an IP address. And a lot of them look like this example:

String strHostName = string.Empty;         


        

Answer 1

@mrcheif I found this answer today and it was very useful although it did return a wrong IP (not due to the code not working) but it gave the wrong internetwork IP when you have such things as Himachi running.

public static string localIPAddress()
{
    IPHostEntry host;
    string localIP = "";
    host = Dns.GetHostEntry(Dns.GetHostName());

    foreach (IPAddress ip in host.AddressList)
    {
        localIP = ip.ToString();

        string[] temp = localIP.Split('.');

        if (ip.AddressFamily == AddressFamily.InterNetwork && temp[0] == "192")
        {
            break;
        }
        else
        {
            localIP = null;
        }
    }

    return localIP;
}
