TrueIP

# TrueIP 1.0 # Visual Basic Example # (c) 2002, RMG Enterprises # Example by Armando Rivera ([email protected]) ** Note: This is my very first attempt at a VB program ** As an online gamer with a home network behind an Internet router, I at times really wished for a utility that would allow me to determine what my *actual* INTERNET IP address is, to allow me to easily host games for friends. I found quite a few VB based utils that would allow me to get my *Local* IP address,but none that would get my *Internet* IP address. So, I sat down with VB6, and coded TrueIP in about an hour. VB Vets might laugh, but I was literally flying blind here. LOL The proggy works by parsing the HTML from www.whatismyip.com, and displays just the IP address in a small window, and using the winsock ocx for the local IP. Short, sweet, and to the point. If anyone enhances my virginal (LOL) attempt at coding, please share! Thx. AIR.
