How to display My Current System IP Address...???

[maveric]

Hi.. All,

I am developing an application in which i need to communicate with and transmit data using TCP protocol...
For that i need IP Address...
So my question is how to get my Ip address...
i tried using this....
QHostAddress ( quint32 ip4Addr ) for getting... Ip address of my system...

but it returned some linker error...

These are the linker errors... (which i couldnt debug them...)

rfswitchmainwindow.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec (dllimport) public: __thiscall QHostAddress::QHostAddress(class QHostAddress const &) " (__imp_??0QHostAddress@@QAE@ABV0@@Z) referenced in function "private: void __thiscall QList<class QHostAddress>::node_copy(struct QList<class QHostAddress>::Node *,struct QList<class QHostAddress>::Node *,struct QList<class QHostAddress>::Node*) " (?node_copy@?$QList@VQHostAddress@@@@AAEXPAUNode@1 @00@Z)

so can any one tell me where i am going wrong...?


Thanks in advance...

Hi,

Only QtCore and QtGui modules are enabled by default. QHostAddress is part of QtNetwork, which you can take in use by adding the following line in your app's .pro file:

QT += network

QT += network

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Does this solve the problem?

I have tried many ways and failed to get my system's current IP Address...
If i use in the following method... i am getting last value present in my ip address..

QHostAddress hstAddr;
QMessageBox::information(this,"", " IP Address " + hstAddr.localhost() + "" );

QHostAddress hstAddr;
QMessageBox::information(this,"", " IP Address " + hstAddr.localhost() + "" );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

this is returning my system/host name

QMessageBox::information(this,"", " IP Address " + hstAddr.ipv4() + "" );

QMessageBox::information(this,"", " IP Address " + hstAddr.ipv4() + "" );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

this is returning me last digit of my IP Address...
as for Eg: if my ip address is 198.168.0.2
its is displaying in the message box the last value 2

I tried Any also it returned some value...

So how do i get my IP Address ....

Thanks in advance...

Hmm? I don't see such methods as QHostAddress::localhost() or QHostAddress::ipv4() at all.

I am sorry Sir...
its been a spelling mistake by me....
QHostInfo HstInfo;

QMessageBox::information(this,"", " IP Address " + HstInfo.localHostName() + "" );
this gives me my Host/System Name...

similarly how can i get my system IP address like "127.0.0.1"

thanks in advance....

Hi,

try using QHostInfo::addresses

HTH, Bernd
--

QList <QHostAddress> list = QHostInfo::fromName(QHostInfo::localHostName()).addresses();
   for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++)
      qDebug() << list.at(i).toString();

QList <QHostAddress> list = QHostInfo::fromName(QHostInfo::localHostName()).addresses();
   for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++)
      qDebug() << list.at(i).toString();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

well m not so sue about the specific QT command but u can use ifcongig to get it.
I mean direct the out put of ifconfig through system call to a file(system("ifconfig>out))

n then its very simple to get IP address from file.

You need to get the IP adresses from the network interface see

http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qnetworkinterface.html

You'll find a simple program at the bottom of this thread

p.s. you can use QHostAddress::toString() get the "127.0.0.1" form see
