InetAddress address= InetAddress.getLocalHost();
System.out.println(address.getHostName()+ "------"+address.getHostAddress());
There are 2 types of Outputs for above codes at 2 different occations.
They are:
1) when internet is connected:
Samitha-Pc------10.224.108.58
2) when internet is not connected):
Samitha-Pc------127.0.0.1
What is the reason for this difference? How the host has been changed from localhost to the ISP given ip?
127.0.0.1
is the internal ip (localhost
). When you are connected to the router, it assigns you another ip address. 10.224.108.58
is the ip assigned by your router. See http://www.howtogeek.com/126304/why-is-the-localhost-ip-127.0.0.1/. When you are not connected to the internet, the only available ip is localhost.
