How to IP address(URGENT)

[Angela D'souza]

Hi,
I have stand alone application running on the server. I want to get IP address of server(that's localhost IP address).
Angela
P.S.:I DON'T WANT TO GET LOCAL HOST NAME. I WANT TO GET LOCAL IP ADDRESS(Format : xx.xx.xx.xx)

if you have win95 or win98 write this on the run method or in dos: winipcfg
if you have win 2000 or me or nt or xp use this line instead: ipconfig

oops. did you mean by API ?
then you need to get first the InetAddress of the ServerSocket by using the method getInetAddress().
the use this method of the InetAddress: getHostAddress() which return the String you want.
or you can use this too:
InetAddress address=InetAddress.getLocalHost();
String ip=address.getHostAddress();

excuse me for the first example. i misunderstood you.
look at my second post which is correct.
use these lines to get the IP address and print it:
InetAddress address=InetAddress.getLocalHost();
String ip=address.getHostAddress();
System.out.println(ip);
