Java getting my IP address

Question

I am trying to get my Internet IP address in Java but I keep getting my local address (ie: 127.0.0.1), when my IP address is 192.168.0.xxx

I am using the line:

Answer 1

    String ip;
    try {
        Enumeration interfaces = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces();
        while (interfaces.hasMoreElements()) {
            NetworkInterface iface = interfaces.nextElement();
            // filters out 127.0.0.1 and inactive interfaces
            if (iface.isLoopback() || !iface.isUp())
                continue;

            Enumeration addresses = iface.getInetAddresses();
            while(addresses.hasMoreElements()) {
                InetAddress addr = addresses.nextElement();
                ip = addr.getHostAddress();
                System.out.println(iface.getDisplayName() + " " + ip);
            }
        }
    } catch (SocketException e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
