Getting the IP Address of a Remote Socket Endpoint

Question

How do I determine the remote IP Address of a connected socket?

I have a RemoteEndPoint object I can access and well as its AddressFamily member.

How do I ut

Answer 1

RemoteEndPoint is a property, its type is System.Net.EndPoint which inherits from System.Net.IPEndPoint.

If you take a look at IPEndPoint's members, you'll see that there's an Address property.

Answer 2

string ip = ((IPEndPoint)(testsocket.RemoteEndPoint)).Address.ToString();

Answer 3

I've made this code in VB.NET but you can translate. Well pretend you have the variable Client as a TcpClient

Dim ClientRemoteIP As String = Client.Client.RemoteEndPoint.ToString.Remove(Client.Client.RemoteEndPoint.ToString.IndexOf(":"))

Hope it helps! Cheers.

Answer 4

You can then call the IPEndPoint..::.Address method to retrieve the remote IPAddress, and the IPEndPoint..::.Port method to retrieve the remote port number.

More from the link (fixed up alot heh):

Socket s;

IPEndPoint remoteIpEndPoint = s.RemoteEndPoint as IPEndPoint;
IPEndPoint localIpEndPoint = s.LocalEndPoint as IPEndPoint;

if (remoteIpEndPoint != null)
{
    // Using the RemoteEndPoint property.
    Console.WriteLine("I am connected to " + remoteIpEndPoint.Address + "on port number " + remoteIpEndPoint.Port);
}

if (localIpEndPoint != null)
{
    // Using the LocalEndPoint property.
    Console.WriteLine("My local IpAddress is :" + localIpEndPoint.Address + "I am connected on port number " + localIpEndPoint.Port);
}
