How to get computer name and IP address.

The following code uses the System.NET.DNS namespace to access the "computer name" and it's IP address.

Option Strict Off

Imports system
Imports System.Net.DNS
Public Class GetIP
Shared Function GetIPAddress() As String
Dim sam As System.Net.IPAddress
Dim sam1 As String
With system.Net.DNS.GetHostByName(system.Net.DNS.GetHostName())
    sam = New System.Net.IPAddress(.AddressList(0).Address)
    sam1 = sam.ToString
End With
GetIPAddress = sam1
End Function
    Shared Sub main()
      Dim shostname As String
      shostname = system.Net.DNS.GetHostName
      console.writeline("Name of the System is = " & shostname)
      console.writeline("Your IP address is= " & GetIPAddress)
    End Sub
 End Class

Compile the file as "vbc getip.vb /r:system.net.dll"

Execute the "getip.exe". The computer's name and IP address will be displayed in the Console.
