C# – Finding my machine’s local IP Address and not the VM’s

by

I’m refining Andrej Arh’s answer, as the IP Address reported by GatewayAddresses can also be “0.0.0.0” instead of just null:

    public static string GetPhysicalIPAdress()
    {
        foreach (NetworkInterface ni in NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces())
        {
            var addr = ni.GetIPProperties().GatewayAddresses.FirstOrDefault();
            if (addr != null && !addr.Address.ToString().Equals("0.0.0.0"))
            {
                if (ni.NetworkInterfaceType == NetworkInterfaceType.Wireless80211 || ni.NetworkInterfaceType == NetworkInterfaceType.Ethernet)
                {
                    foreach (UnicastIPAddressInformation ip in ni.GetIPProperties().UnicastAddresses)
                    {
                        if (ip.Address.AddressFamily == AddressFamily.InterNetwork)
                        {
                            return ip.Address.ToString();
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return String.Empty;
    }
