** 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.
