Windows Sockets IP

Is there a way of retrieving my own IP address by using windows sockets?

not too easy to get dynamic internet ip via pure winsock

static or dynamic?

Either dynamic and static.

static ip

check out msdn for winsock api to get network ip address or router api (system is connected to the internet via router)

dynamic ip

one approach is to connect to an external server such as webserver and log if host broadcasts the ip address
