#3

depends what IP adress you need. If it’s from local computer it can be from LAN or WAN.

#4

How come InetAdress.getHostAdress() is giving me “0.0.0.0” :’(?



Serversocket listener;

public void open(int port){
    try {
        listener = new ServerSocket(port);
        System.out.println(listener.getInetAddress().getHostAddress());
    }
    catch (IOException e){
    }
}
#5

public static InetAddress getLocalHost() throws UnknownHostException

getLocalHost().getHostAddress()

getHostAddress() is only returining the IP of adress in a String

Edit: ah didn’t noticed your code…
when listening, programs listen on 0.0.0.0 … don’t know why or in what cases, look in your firewall / netlimiter, it’s like that. If you just want localhost address the above works.
