Track Ip Address

Hi Everybody,
I want to trace the IP address of the computer. Please give me some APIs. so that i can easily trace the IP Address of the computer. For example My computer's Ip address is 192.168.0.55. how could i trace the ip address from vb application.

This will save the results to a file. Place it in any folder that you want, and then open it. You may want to parse the results.

Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()
Shell ("C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c " & _
"C:\Windows\System32\ipconfig >> d:\myip.txt"), vbNormalFocus
End Sub

You can use the winsock Control..
using MyIP = Winsock1.LocalIP

Neat and easy..
