Get external IP

Hi VB experts,

I just need a way to get the external IP address under a network.

If a create a Winsock the IP address it return is just the local IP, how can I resolve the external IP with only VB? Is that possible? If yes any comments will be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Well you can do it through a VB web browser by setting the browser to go to "www.ipchicken.com".  This will tell you your IP, but technically VB won't understand it unless you can find a way to make it copy it from the website.

Lots of Luck!
