Getting IP address of Local Host Posted: Feb 21, 2003 12:26 PM

I've been using the following java call to obtain the IP address of my local host.

InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress()

This program ran fine on a SUN Solaris 5.6 system, but we recently upgraded to Solaris 8 and I find that the same program is now returning 127.0.0.1 when I call it. Anybody else run into this problem?

127.0.0.1 is the default local IP address when not connected to the internet.

Try connecting to the internet and then run it again.
