 Getting the local internet machine name and IP address.


How do I get the local internet machine name and IP address?   

    Getting the local machine name and IP address is a straight forward process that is most easily accomplished using the TCP component. Simply drop a TCP component from the internet page of the component palette on to a form, and access the following members of the TCP component:

    Memo .Lines.Add(TCP .LocalHostName); Memo .Lines.Add(TCP .LocalIp);

    If you prefer not to use the TCP component, here is an example that interfaces directly with your winsock layer:

    uses Winsock;

    procedure TForm .FormCreate(Sender: TObject); var wVersionRequested : WORD; wsaData : TWSAData; begin {Start up WinSock} wVersionRequested := MAKEWORD( , ); WSAStartup(wVersionRequested, wsaData); end;

    procedure TForm .Button Click(Sender: TObject); var p : PHostEnt; s : array[0.. 28] of char; p2 : pchar; begin {Get the computer name} GetHostName(@s, 28); p := GetHostByName(@s); Memo .Lines.Add(p^.h_Name); {Get the IpAddress} p2 := iNet_ntoa(PInAddr(p^.h_addr_list^)^); Memo .Lines.Add(p2); end;

    procedure TForm .FormDestroy(Sender: TObject); begin {Shut down WinSock} WSACleanup; end;
