Valhalla Legends Forums Archive | Visual Basic Programming | Re: API to get local IP?

Errr, I need to know it and how to implement it.

I'm pretty rusty at Visual Basic, which is why I came here to ask, seeing as I haven't programmed for about 18 months.

Sorry that this is such a rediculous question, but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

two ways i know of:
1) Put a Microsoft Winsock control on your form and use Winsock1.LocalIP. Note that this will return the first IP found (usually the LAN IP if you have an NIC card installed), so it's not always accurate.

2) Use Microsoft Internet Transfer Control to read a PHP page that displays your IP. Something like this: Inet1.OpenURL("http://rcb.realityripple.com/ip.php"). This will get your IP as viewed from the outside world, so if you're behind a router, it'll display the router's IP. Note that the above URL does work, but I don't promise it always will work. You may want to use another site and parse the IP from the HTML code returned.

But if you don't want to use controls, here is the API way:

[code]

' GetLocalIP() by l2k-Shadow

        Call WSACleanup
        Exit Function
    End If
   
    HostName = Trim$(HostName)
   
    lHost = gethostbyname(HostName)
    If lHost = 0 Then
        Call MsgBox("gethostbyname() Error")
        Call WSACleanup
        Exit Function
    End If

    Call WSACleanup
   
    Call CopyMemorylng(hEnt, lHost, Len(hEnt))
    Call CopyMemorylng(lIP, hEnt.h_addr_list, 4)
    Call CopyMemorylng(sIP(0), lIP, hEnt.h_length)
    For i = 0 To 3
        GetLocalIP = GetLocalIP & sIP(i) & "."

I would go with the website/php method. You can grab the REAL ip with about 6 lines of code and no controls.

He's asking for local IP, in case you didn't notice, and FYI that code has to use the Inet or Winsock control.
September 22, 2006, 5:26 AM
RealityRipple
therein lies the problem. I have a modem and a network card. My IP for my local network is 1.1.1.100. My IP for my modem, and thus for all internet-based things, is 67.150.12.193 (for now, since it's dynamic). The Website method will get the one used for internet-based things, and the winsock one will get the first one it finds.
September 22, 2006, 5:32 AM
ImaWh0re
If he needs to get a local IP than more than likely his form will contain a winsock/inet control. Why would you need a local IP so badly if you wern't accessing the net? Yeah I'm sure there are some cases but still....

[code]
Inet1.OpenUrl("http://whatismyip.org")
'If using inet
[/code]

or..

[code]
Private Sub Form_Load()
 
  ws1.Connect "www.whatismyip.org", 80
 
End Sub

Private Sub ws1_Connect()
 
  Dim sSend As String
  sSend = "GET / HTTP/1.1" & vbCrLf
  sSend = sSend & "Host: www.whatismyip.org" & vbCrLf
  sSend = sSend & "User-Agent: FF>IE" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
 
  ws1.SendData sSend
 
End Sub

Private Sub ws1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
 
  Dim sData As String
  ws1.GetData sData
 
  If InStrB(1, sData, vbCrLf & vbCrLf) Then MsgBox "My REAL IP is: " & Mid$(sData, InStr(1, sData, vbCrLf & vbCrLf) + 4)

End Sub
[/code]

--edited for code tags--




(Would of replied quicker but whatismyip.org limits connections in x time when I was packetlogging)

PS: l2k-shadow, don't put "' GetLocalIP() by l2k-Shadow" when infact it is coding from api-guide with renamed variables. K Thanks!

Fleet-/Fleet-'s dick sucker, you are an idiot. This code is from my winsock module from over a year ago, the declerations are taken from public documentation on msdn//pscode. How can you even say a sub that calls 5 APIs is ripped is beyond me, but then again you would be lucky if your brain was half the size of my right nut, so it's understandable.

It's the exact coding down to the mark. I don't think you should throw your name all over something if all you did was copy and paste. Which he just implied he did. C&P must be the new way to code today then I guess everyone must be 1-3-3-7.


PS: GJ on counting those, 5 api calls, as you would say l2k-shadow. Maybe all you need now is a calender, American 3 years must work differently from czech 3 yrs.

Is a very efficient way on how to grab a DWORD.

Oh and i'm sure you actually made that yourself, not taken from public source codes. Hypocrite. And you accuse me of ripping for using 5 API calls from winsock2 library. You need to learn how to code bud.

Are you done gloating because you think you have accomplished something when you havn't, as stated above. And I know to do my research before accusing a person of something. How about that key tester of yours l2k-shadow, that is if I do recall, a duplicate of an open source keytester.

Take it up with fleet- then, I have looked through the source and it seems very original. I have also looked through many other sources of his which appear original as well. The only thing I noticed was that the connection seemed similar. But then again there are only so many ways you can connect to battle.net. So even if you do write every single last bit of code yourself it will look very similar.

Well the link you provided didn't have the source to l2k-Shadow's key tester, so I can't compare. But I did notice that ALL the bots in the folder there used BnetAuth.dll/Hash.dll (except l2uthlessChat.zip but it didn't have the source with it), thus they're vastly outdated. So it is pretty probably that he was on his first year of coding.

Also, how about posting a link to l2k-Shadow's source, then another link to one which you're suggesting he ripped? It's easier to compare that way.

ok? that program is 2 years old, thus I was a beginner coder back then, it was one of my first battle.net projects, and I still don't see how you posting a 2 year old program of mine is suggesting that i rip sources.

Well, I particularly don't see a problem with copy/paste as long as you know whats going on with the code (i.e. you've written similar code before but too lazy to recreate).  In a scenario you've handled before, I see no problem copying code so long as you understand the code.

As for copying an entire project, etc... thats a big no no I agree.  But certain functions or snippets it MIGHT be ok under some circumstances such as repetative winsock code such as this... I think we've all used the winsock api more times than we can count, who wants to rewrite it YET ANOTHER TIME?

the source you stole as a whole. woot for connections.


PS: I talked to fleet- about your element 2 comment and he said that he did get the hashing functions from other projects but did all the other packeting himself such as warcraft III clan invitations, friends list, and such.


Edit for Fr0zen. (Sorry didn't see your post until after).
But I did post the source he got it from. And if you've seen the ruthless`ops leaked source, it also appears very leeched. I believe this has been commented some where as well. And I don't have the key tester source, why would I.

---------------
To l2k-shadow:
  Why do you first deny even have MAKING a key tester, then once it pops up you have some other excuse? Are you telling me you can't keep track of the things you make? I find that very hard to believe. Something might slip your mind but not when it is blatently mentioned.

I never said he had to write his own. But he put his name on it as if he created it. "by l2k-shadow". If say that snippet was used in a large project I see no reason not to put your name on the project itself. But as he put it, is saying he coded it which he did not. I'm sure this isn't the first time he's taken snippets and slapped his name on it either. Just making a point, again.

I just think anyone that thinks of himself as such a big person and talks so much shit, and he does, deserves to have the truth dropped down on them. He may not talk shit here, well he already has from what I've seen, but you get the idea. I've been following the whole propaganda thing between fleet- and l2k-shadow and it all seems to start with l2k-shadow. I'm not just here to make him look bad though I try to help where I can.

I wasn't denying making a key tester, I was asking where you get your information that it is a "source duplicate" as you put it.

And it's not like you don't talk shit fleet-, why are you covering up as being someone else in the first place?

I didn't steal the source, as you put it, I based my work off of the source. I believe that is a good way on how to learn to code. There are functions in my source that aren't in the old source, and certainly the code has been cleaned up and reformatted. Again you are throwing something in my face that was written 2 years ago, and never meant to be released publicly, because unlike you, I don't release programs which aren't completely written by me. So what's your point? The function, I did write, I am sorry you have no clue how to work with winsock.

"Key tester of mine? Open source duplicate?"
These are two different statements, as any person would take it.. "Key tester of mine?" is saying "What key tester of mine" in different wording. And the same applies to the other question. This is not a case of poor punctuation it is a case of your ignorance because you thought no one even KNEW about it. So what you are trying to say, is a very bad execuse. And for someone that types in such perfect grammar such as yourself would know this.


"because unlike you, I don't release programs which aren't completely written by me."
You must have me mistaken, because I don't release any programs public.


And yes looking at sources can be a good way to learn but is inefficient. However stealing them is not. Making a few modifications to a program does NOT make it yours. And I quote you, "I have never ripped a program". That being said, you just made a liar out of yourself.

Just incase, let me define this for you: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/never

Also just because you don't know how to use a razor, doesn't give you the right to call others "kid". Not to mention...arn't you like, 14...15?


Now to end all things to come.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We learned you have infact lied recently, and in the past.
We learned you have infact stolen code recently, and also in the past.
We learned that you try to manipulate situations by play on words and false acusations of others, and completely avoiding the subject in general.
We learned that you talk out of your ass, when you don't even know what you are doing yourself.
-----------------------------
That being said, if anyone would like me to provide proof and or has doubt to what I have said above feel free to PM me and I will supply you with links, screenshots, and all that is nessicary.

I've decided to put my foot in this 'competition' of you vs fleet-. Obviously fleet- HAS taken many snippets from the past and he has admitted to it. But he does not lie and spread false information like you. Let me guess, this makes me "Fleet-'s dick sucker" for proving you are one big pile of shit? K Thanks.

I can make a promise to everyone on this forum to never flame l2k-shadow again being that this has been said and done. If he wants to reply, which he probably will, I will still cease to persue it. That being said, just because I won't reply to any more of l2k-shadow's crap, does not mean I don't have something to say. If anyone wants opinions you can PM me.

This is not a case of poor punctuation it is a case of your ignorance because you thought no one even KNEW about it. So what you are trying to say, is a very bad execuse. And for someone that types in such perfect grammar such as yourself would know this.


"because unlike you, I don't release programs which aren't completely written by me."
You must have me mistaken, because I don't release any programs public.


And yes looking at sources can be a good way to learn but is inefficient. However stealing them is not. Making a few modifications to a program does NOT make it yours. And I quote you, "I have never ripped a program". That being said, you just made a liar out of yourself.

Just incase, let me define this for you: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/never

Also just because you don't know how to use a razor, doesn't give you the right to call others "kid". Not to mention...arn't you like, 14...15?


Now to end all things to come.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We learned you have infact lied recently, and in the past.
We learned you have infact stolen code recently, and also in the past.
We learned that you try to manipulate situations by play on words and false acusations of others, and completely avoiding the subject in general.
We learned that you talk out of your ass, when you don't even know what you are doing yourself.
-----------------------------
That being said, if anyone would like me to provide proof and or has doubt to what I have said above feel free to PM me and I will supply you with links, screenshots, and all that is nessicary.

I've decided to put my foot in this 'competition' of you vs fleet-. Obviously fleet- HAS taken many snippets from the past and he has admitted to it. But he does not lie and spread false information like you. Let me guess, this makes me "Fleet-'s dick sucker" for proving you are one big pile of shit? K Thanks.

I can make a promise to everyone on this forum to never flame l2k-shadow again being that this has been said and done. If he wants to reply, which he probably will, I will still cease to persue it. That being said, just because I won't reply to any more of l2k-shadow's crap, does not mean I don't have something to say. If anyone wants opinions you can PM me.

I don't lie, I based my work off of a source in a project that was never meant to be used by public, it is not a "source duplicate". Therefore no, I have never "ripped" a program. I don't know how to use a razor? May I remind you that I am from central Europe, and probably have more hair on my balls than you do on your head.

Lied recently? Where? I put together 5 APIs in a sub.
Stolen code? I based my work off a source in a private project when learning how to program, something you or fleet- have NEVER done, oh wait, i already proved that false. And in a public project at that.
Manipulate situtations? I believe you are the one talking out of your ass now.

You come on this forum and start flaming me. Why? Out of jealousy? There is no "competition" between me and Fleet-, Fleet- frames me constantly and I have at least 12 topics on his site revolving around me and almost every other one has some reference to me or my programs. I post on this forum because it is a great and helpful community, if it wasn't, I would not be posting. What have you done to help? Shit. You just come on here trying to make me look bad like every other cock sucker of fleet-'s has done for the past two years. And guess what? I'm still around, so your attempts are pointless. Get a life dipshit.

I will not respond to anymore of your flame posts.

Leeching code is fine.
Leeching code and CLAIMING you wrote it or worse getting PROFIT out of it is wrong.

Fellas, if you want to release code that no one else can touch withought being subjected to the idiotic standards of open source then release it under GPL.

As for bagging on others code: Until you are a programming genius (TheMinistered and some others excluded) I wouldn't act big. It wasn't too long ago that you were newbs too.

He isn't active any more, it's hard to get a hold of him. But he still idles in cell on east.
And why am I a doucheag? Maybe you should do your research as well.  I havn't said anything untrue.

Like I said if you want to actually make a point or try to make a point you can PM me. I'm sure you don't understand the whole situation, which exceeds beyond these forums. You have to understand another persons point of view as well.


oh, and rabbit...

Still why do these problems have to come here, l2k-Shadow & Fleet-s bot have nothing to do with these forums as no one even cares, most people here probley don't use eaither of them.

These arnt the forums where everyone really cares what you use or where you got it, Basicly the most supported bot here is SphtBotv3 Since Spht is part of the vL clan, also while keepin his bot topics limited to his personal fourm amoung these forums, Stealth uses his own forums for his own bot discussions, as shadow im sure does along with Fleet-. why is this crap coming to Visual Basic Programming? a forum topic discussion about helping others with there vb6 needs with a hint of critizing from older members. =)

I'm with l2k on this however, it's impossible for code which contains pure API calls to be ripped.

This is all pointless arguing.

You are completely missing the point. Read the whole thread over and over until you get it. If you still don't get it feel free to PM me. Although I would think I wouldn't have to explain this to people.

No, replying doesn't mean I'm interested.

Originally, you started to make a point when questioning things. Then you started inconclusively stating things which where mainly incorrect. At that point, you started to sound like an arrogant idiot and everyone lost interest in what you were trying to say.

Did you miss the part where I said if you have doubt PM me about which parts, and I would provide proof. Or are you just an every day village idiot that rambles to have their two cents put in. I made it very clear I could backup everything I have said, if you chose not to take advantage of that, it's your choice. But you can do so through PMs, this thread is long enough as is. So stop talking shit for two moments and understand your surroundings. It's people like you that make such discussions turn into flame wars. I've been trying to avoid keeping this thread going by requesting through PMs. So you can just shut the fuck up and PM me if you have a problem, and that applies to everyone.

You don't have to respect me for my claims to be true ;)
People don't like hearing the truth.

and it only seems like "an idiotic sense" because people trailed so far off from the original topic that it all got lost in translation. I can ensure you though that I am quite right about everything I have said.
