Getting IP's Programatically

Thank you in advance for any and all assistance. It is greatly appreciated.

I would like to know if there is a way to get the IP addresses on the local
machine, such as WAN IP, LAN IP and Router IP, similar to .NET in VB6? If so,
is there some place to look at code samples?

Hi Michael,

As Douglas suggested, Randy Birch's vb site have many useful examples
regarding your question. Please note that reading the external IP address
must be handled using a public resource as Randy's example
(http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/internet/getpublicip.htm)
demonstrated.

Please feel free to let us know if you need further information on this
topic. Thanks.

Sincerely,
