it does not matter using cmd or others, as long it is in vb code.

What I have tried:

i have tried using cmd, but the arguments is for own pc.

Dim ps As New Process
With ps.StartInfo
.FileName = "cmd.exe"
.Arguments = "/C ipconfig | findstr /i ipv4"
.CreateNoWindow = True
.UseShellExecute = False
.RedirectStandardOutput = True
End With

ps.WaitForExit()

Dim output As String = ps.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()

Um.
Think about what you are trying to do: you are trying to get the IP address of a computer via your network, which means you need the IP address in order to talk to it...

This may help: Retrieving IP and MAC addresses for a LAN[^] - it's in C#, but online convertes can sort that for you (or better, leave it in C# and put it in it's own assembly - you can then call the methods from VB without any problems).
