Question

Is there a way to get the Sharepoint server’s IP address?
This code below just retrieves the hostname but I need to know the IP address.

string hostName = SPServer.Local.Address;

Answer 1

Given a host name you can get the IP address of the host by using Dns.GetHostEntry in the System.Net namespace.

You can get the first IPv4 address of a host name using this code:

var ipAddress = Dns.GetHostEntry(hostName)
  .AddressList
  .First(ipAddress => ipAddress.AddressFamily == AddressFamily.InterNetwork);

The code will throw exceptions if either the host is unknown or if it doesn’t have an IPv4 address.
