Pocket PC Networking, I want to get the wlan IP address for the PPC

I am using C#, is there a way to get the IP for the PPC associated with the
WLAN? I tried

// Get DNS host information.
IPHostEntry hostInfo = Dns.Resolve("localhost"); //VNETUSBA1
// Get the DNS IP addresses associated with the host.
IPAddress[] IPaddresses = hostInfo.AddressList;

if (IPaddresses.Length > 0)
{
hostAddress = IPaddresses[0];
ipToUse = hostAddress.ToString();
}

---------------------
BUT all i get is "127.0.0.1". I am connected to an wireless access point
using dhcp. I know the address is 192.168.8.X but i want to programically
get it cause it could change.
thanks for any help

instead of passing in "localhost" try passing in the string you get from
gethostname.

assoicated with the WLAN?

You can use the IPHelper API's which are less friendly to use, but they'll
allow you to get the MAC address and possibly a friendly name for the
different adapters in your system.

i mcruz,

You should look at Smart Device Framework
www.opennetcf.com

**** my sample ****
AdapterCollection ac = Networking.GetAdapters();

foreach(Adapter a in ac)
{
this.listBox2.Items.Add("Name: " + a.Name);
this.listBox2.Items.Add("IP: " +a.CurrentIpAddress) ;
this.listBox2.Items.Add("Submask: " + a.CurrentSubnetMask);
this.listBox2.Items.Add("Desp: " + a.Description);
this.listBox2.Items.Add("Type: " + a.Type.ToString());
this.listBox2.Items.Add("Mac: " + a.MacAddress[0].ToString("x") +":" +
a.MacAddress[1].ToString("x") +":" + a.MacAddress[2].ToString("x") +":" +
a.MacAddress[3].ToString("x") +":" + a.MacAddress[4].ToString("x") +":" +
a.MacAddress[5].ToString("x") );
if(a.DhcpEnabled)
{
this.listBox2.Items.Add("DHCP: " + a.DhcpServer);
this.listBox2.Items.Add("LeaseEx: "+a.LeaseExpires.ToString());
this.listBox2.Items.Add("LeaseOb: "+a.LeaseObtained.ToString());
}

this.listBox2.Items.Add("Gateway: "+a.Gateway);
if (a.IsWireless)
{
this.listBox2.Items.Add("SigdB: "+ a.SignalStrengthInDecibels);

SignalStrength test = a.SignalStrength;

this.listBox2.Items.Add("SigdB: "+ test.Decibels);
this.listBox2.Items.Add("StrType: "+ test.Strength.ToString());
}
}

if your adapter is wireless, "a.wireless" is true which means you got your
wlan IP.
