Getting externally-facing IP address?

[Michael B. Trausch]

Hello,

Every programming example that I have seen thus far shows simple server
code and how to bind to a socket--however, every example binds to the
localhost address.  What I am wondering is this:  Is there a clean way
to get the networked IP address of the machine the code is running on?
For example, my laptop's IP address is 192.168.0.101, and I want to bind
a server to that address.  Is there a clean way of doing so that will
work, for example, when I move the code to my server (which obviously
doesn't have the same IP address)?

Thanks in advance.
