InetAddress

Creating an InetAddress Instance

InetAddress has no public contructor, so you must obtain instances via a set of static methods.

Here is how to get the InetAddress instance for a domain name:

InetAddress address = InetAddress.getByName("jenkov.com");

And here is how to get the InetAddress matching a String representation of an IP address:

InetAddress address = InetAddress.getByName("78.46.84.171");

And, here is how to obtain the IP address of the localhost (the computer the program is running on):

InetAddress address = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
