[Synalist] How to find the Local IP ?

[Daniel Simoes de Ameida]

Hi All,

Is there some hint to find the Local IP (internal network IP of a machine) on a cross-plataform environment ?

I'm using Lazarus (FPC) on Win32 and Linux

I need some think like, IPCONFIG (Win32) and IFCONFIG (Linux) does....

Hint: GetLocalIPs() in the synamisc unit

[Daniel Simoes de Ameida]

Hi Wily,

Tanks for reply... It's incredible easy :)

I was trying to build a function likes GetLocalIPs... but it already exist :) Next time I will do a better search on Documentation...

I use SynaSer for a long time... but Synapse is new for me... I'm changing my Kylix/CLX applications for Lazarus FPC, and on this process, I decide change all Indy Components dependencies for Synapse Library

You're welcome Daniel.

Good luck with your project. You'll probably like Synapse too.

I have similar problem but I'd like to get external ip address. Is it
possible ? It has to be because windows shows me that IP address in
connection details (ADLS connection)

I don't think there is a standard way to find this out programmatically
from the machine (the ADSL-router of course has it's own ways of finding
this out) so propably the best bet is to do a http-query to
www.whatismyip.com and parsing the server's output for "Your IP Address
is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx".

I absolutely agree with Markku.

"Get My IP" ( http://soft.tahionic.com/download-get_my_ip/index.html )
uses this web site to get the external IP: checkip.dyndns.org
All you need to do is to read the string in that page and cut the
"Current IP Address:" part.

Actually, dyndns's ip-checker is propably even better than the one I
suggested - because the address is part of the "standard" dynamic
nameservice protocol (ok, it is only a de facto-standard, but anyway)
and thus they propably won't be changing the servers response in the
near future (unlike whatismyip.com that has added lots of unnecessary
junk to their page - most likely to cover the expenses they are facing
when everyone keeps checking their IP through their service).

Oh please... we're on a Synapse board. Why offer something "non-Synapse"
as a solution? :-p

In theory (since I don't have Delphi here to try this with) with Synapse
this should be something as simple as:

program GetExternalIP;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

uses
classes, httpsend;

var
Response: TStringList;

begin
Response := TStringList.create;
try
if not HttpGetText('http://checkip.dyndns.org/', Response) then
Writeln('Unable to get external IP.')
else
Writeln(Response.Text); // Parse this for the IP...
finally
Response.Free;
end;
end.

Also don't forget ipchicken.com for IP resolution similar to whatismyip.com.

For TCP/IP exists only local IP address.

I found this reference to freepascal, seems to use Indy
components to get IP of machine. Hope it helps.

Good luck with your project. You'll probably like Synapse too.

And of course, if you run any of your own servers, you could provide
"external IP reporting" in all sorts of ways...

[amos]

i think my reply got lost among the other replies: am i the only one to get 127.0.0.1 as a result from GetLocalIPs function?

thanks

Yes.

[amos]

i dont even have a router... so how can i make this function return the IP and not 127.0.0.1?

Yes.

[Wily Dev]

I don't know.

Being that you're the only one reporting this problem, it may be best to
step through the code and see what's going on...

Possible first things to check: Did someone actually set the IP address on
that machine to be the loopback address??
Does the code work correctly on other
machines? It does for us.
