Answer 1

Thanks Shuwaiee

I made a slight change though as using it in a Private Sub already.

Dim 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 & vbCrLf & "IP Address: " & strIPAddress)

But also made a change to the way the details are displayed so that they can show on seperate lines using & vbCrLf &

MessageBox.Show("Host Name: " & strHostName & vbCrLf & "IP Address: " & strIPAddress)

Hope this helps someone.

    Public strHostName As String
    Public strIPAddress As String
    strHostName = System.Net.Dns.GetHostName()
    strIPAddress = System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry(strHostName).AddressList(0).ToString()
    MessageBox.Show("Host Name: " & strHostName & "; IP Address: " & strIPAddress)

Imports System.Net

Module MainLine
    Sub Main()
        Dim hostName As String = Dns.GetHostName
        Console.WriteLine("Host Name : " & hostName & vbNewLine)
        For Each address In Dns.GetHostEntry(hostName).AddressList()
            Select Case Convert.ToInt32(address.AddressFamily)
                Case 2
                    Console.WriteLine("IP Version 4 Address: " & address.ToString)
                Case 23
                    Console.WriteLine("IP Version 6 Address: " & address.ToString)
            End Select
        Next
        Console.ReadKey()
    End Sub
End Module

Label12.Text = "My ID : " + System.Net.Dns.GetHostByName(Net.Dns.GetHostName()).AddressList(0).ToString()

use this code, without any variable
