hi, i have a question.
i need to know my ip
I tried something like this i found a few months ago in the forum:

Sub Globals
'Declare the global variables here.
End Sub

Sub App_Start
Form1.Show
server.new1(50000)
client.new1
label1.Text="my ip:"&client.getip2(client.hostname)
'label1.Text="my ip:"&server.hostname
End Sub

it does not work. it displays somthing like 2002:8567::654:32

or is there an way?

It seems like an IPv6 address.

Also remember that this code will give you the internal IP given by the router.

after some searching on wikipedia i think you have the solution.
one question is left: whats the difference betwen external an internal ip? do you think of a submask in networks? the handheld was in gprs-mode...
please give me a hint.

If your device is connected to a router then it is assigned a local ip by the router. This is named NAT. This way the router shares a single "true" ip with many devices.

thank you for your help!

ok, that's what i thougt as i wrote about subnet. i work on the chitchat example and it works with two devices in a wlan/wifi very fast. i didn't get it to run in gprs till now.

i added an smsinterceptor-event, so it will fire when a special sms is send. it would be more elegant, if i could start the app with "runappatevent()". doe somebody know the event-number/-id?

i wanted to catch an incomming sms.
i used intercept.receivedmessage (outlook.dll) to catch, but i have to keep the program stay alive to get it work. So it would be better with startappatevent().

you are right: i can't connect over gprs.
