My code needs to insert ip address of the machine it is running upon. I am doing this by,

InetAddress IP = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
String hostAddress = IP.getHostAddress().trim();
//insert ip into DB

Now my client rightly informed me that when tested this code on different machines, all inserted ip as 127.0.0.1. I undertand that machines are network and thus returning local host ip.

but how to resolve this? I need uniq ip address of individual box.

Note that a computer can have more than one IP address (e.g., wireless card and wired card). Also note that IP addresses may not be unique (e.g. 192.168.0.x). – Steve Kuo Apr 18 '13 at 23:56
Are the computers properly connected to a network? – TheMerovingian Apr 19 '13 at 00:05
