Hi,

InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
System.out.println(addr.getHostAddress());

Thanks for your reply.

This code works fine, in normal java.

I created one applet program, which will give me the ipaddress.

Instead of giving, local machine's ipAddress, it is giving Localhost ip.

For eg, my ipAddress is 172.16.0.37.

But is giving me as, 127.0.0.1

This cannot be happen, except one thing. Did you read the Java doc?

Returns the local host.
If there is a security manager, its checkConnect method is called with the local host name and -1 as its arguments to see if the operation is allowed. If the operation is not allowed, an InetAddress representing the loopback address is returned.

How to get that clientIP?

i imported, the correct header file only,

import java.net.InetAddress;


i created one APPLET Program, in my local machine only.

If i execute, it is giving 127.0.0.1.

My IPAddress,172.16.0.37.


Code is working in normal java program. Not working in Applet Program.

You say that when you run it as a console application, get the correct IP and not in the Applet?

I think you are using IE. IE cannot do this with the default security level. Go to the security tab and find the option "Allow access to all IP address" and enable.
