Smartphone IP address

[Guest Dr_StrangeTrick]

I have been using VB for a few years, but I am new to .Net and I am struggling to find anything to help.

I need a small app that will show me the IP address of the phone when it is connected via GPRS.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please

well getting the ip is rather hard.. i made a php form that showed me the phones ip address.. and every 1 minute (or every refresh don't know for sure) the address changed.... i don't think it has a static ip address of what sort to connect too... i think it can only connect to the outside not "inside".. also i tried pinging the ip that was on the phone for that minute without any success..

i think this is because it simply goes through a Gprs server, and it changes server every page request or something

OK thanks, back to the drawing board.

ofcourse as long as there is a connection with an app or whatever it can't renew the ip. but getting the ip for connection usage might be impossible.. i can patch up a little php test page for you to check it out yourself :P

Thanks for the offer, I am going to do a lot more head scratching I think.

I was hoping to be able to 'contact' the phone and hopefully fire off an event.

If you have any other suggestions though I would be grateful.

you can TRY to connect to the computer first.. and then let it keep a connection (but this will cost bandwith) and then let it fire an event afterwards? :S
