Determine my IP Address

Is there any way in VB2005 to easily determine what my IP Address is?

I want to know my external IP, not the internal IP as seen from behind the
router.

I know that I can programatically pull in a web page like MyIPAddr.com, but
there must be a more direct way.

    Thanks,,,,Cliff

Cliff,

That can be a lot. By instance for your mailserver one, for your proxyserver
one, for you IIS server one or more.

Etc.
