Hi dynamicrevolutions,

try this...

Import System.Net

 Dim ipEntry As IPHostEntry = Dns.GetHostByName(Environment.MachineName)
 Dim IpAddr As IPAddress() = ipEntry.AddressList
 Dim i As Integer

 'A hostmachine can have more than one IP assigned

  Me.Label2.Text = IpAddr(0).ToString()

hey..

check if this is what you are looking for..

        Dim ip As System.Net.IPHostEntry
        ip = System.Net.Dns.GetHostByName("<server name>")
        MsgBox(ip.AddressList(0).ToString) 'will display the first IP assigned


you might hav eto add error checks

Enjoy!
