I am using some code that gets the IP address of the iPhone so it can set up a httplistener. This worked ok until one of the devices was upgraded to iOS6. The code looked like this:
string hostName = System.Net.Dns.GetHostName () + ".local"; IPHostEntry hostEntry = Dns.GetHostEntry (hostName); IPAddress localAddr = hostEntry.AddressList[0]; In iOS5 it was necessary to add the .local to the hostname in order for GetHostEntry() to work properly. This would give an address on the same subnet and a windows prorgam was able to communicate with the httplistener. In iOS6 I have to remove the +".local" part otherwise I get an error "No such host is known". When I remove it, the code works but I actually get an IP address of 199.101.28.130 which is on a separate subnet. As a result my Windows app running on 192.168.0.2 cannot communicate with it. What happened? :-( -- View this message in context: http://monotouch.2284126.n4.nabble.com/Issue-with-getting-an-IP-address-unde-iOS6-tp4657173.html Sent from the MonoTouch mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ MonoTouch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/monotouch
