Getting the IP Address of a Remote Socket Endpoint

Question

How do I determine the remote IP Address of a connected socket?

I have a RemoteEndPoint object I can access and well as its AddressFamily member.

How do I utilize these to find the ip address?

Thanks!

Currently trying

IPAddress.Parse( testSocket.Address.Address.ToString() ).ToString(); 

and getting 1.0.0.127 instead of 127.0.0.1 for localhost end points. Is this normal?

You can then call the IPEndPoint..::.Address method to retrieve the remote IPAddress, and the IPEndPoint..::.Port method to retrieve the remote port number.

More from the link (fixed up alot heh):

Socket s;          IPEndPoint remoteIpEndPoint = s.RemoteEndPoint as IPEndPoint; IPEndPoint localIpEndPoint = s.LocalEndPoint as IPEndPoint;  if (remoteIpEndPoint != null) {     // Using the RemoteEndPoint property.     Console.WriteLine("I am connected to " + remoteIpEndPoint.Address + " on port number " + remoteIpEndPoint.Port); }  if (localIpEndPoint != null) {     // Using the LocalEndPoint property.     Console.WriteLine("My local IpAddress is " + localIpEndPoint.Address + " connected on port number " + localIpEndPoint.Port); }
