See System.Net.DNS.

Something like this should work:

Dim ips As IPAddress() = Dns.GetHostAddresses(Dns.GetHostName())

Dim index As Integer
For Each ip in ips
     Console.WriteLine(ip)
Next ip

One way is to use System.Net.Dns.GetHostAddresses, passing it the empty string. Note that it will give you an array of addresses, this is because a host can have multiple addresses, one for each interface. A common example would be the loopback address (127.0.0.1) and one or more public facing IP addresses (eg 10.10.1.1). If your machine has a specific host name you can use that instead of the empty string.
