Dear all,

I have a tool which is able to receive any kind of data
from a remote system.
For that I need to get the ipadress of the remote system.

If the system is not connected to a DHCP server no
problem , I set in my configuration the ip adress.

Then if my remote system is connected to a DHCP server,
how can I get retriev the given IP adress ?

thanks for your help

Hi Serge,

Do you have the machine name or DNS name of the machine? If so you can use
System.Net.Dns.GetHostByName("theName") to get the IP address(es) for the
machine.

Such as:
IPHostEntry hostInfo = Dns.GetHostByName("jimblizz01");
Console.WriteLine("host name: " + hostInfo.HostName);
IPAddress[] address = hostInfo.AddressList;
Console.WriteLine("\nIP address list : ");
for(int index=0; index < address.Length; index++)
{
Console.WriteLine(address[index]);
}

Console.ReadLine();

Hope this helps,
- bliz

Thanks for your answer....
Yes the only thing I might know is the name of the PC.
But the way my customer will handle name resolution is not
under my control.

Can I used what you suggest?

I don't quite understand the situation when you say name resolution isn't
under your control....

If you have the machine name, you should be able to get the IP address.

Can you clarify?

Thanks!
