以下分別列出 Dlephi 版及 C++ 版的取得 Local IP address 範例:

//
// Delphi版本 (written by Huanlin Tsai)
//
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  szHostName: array [0..256] of char;
  AWSAData: TWSAData;
  p_HostEnt: PHostEnt;
  addr: TInAddr;
  i: integer;
  p: PChar;
begin
  Memo1.Clear;
  lblHostName.Caption := '(Unknown)';
  if (WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(1, 1), AWSAData) <> 0) then
  begin
    ShowMessage('WSAStartup error');
    Exit;
  end;

  if GetHostName(@szHostName, 256) = SOCKET_ERROR then
  begin
    lblHostName.Caption := '(Error getting host name)';
    Exit;
  end;
  lblHostName.Caption := szHostName;

  p_HostEnt := GetHostByName(szHostName);
  if p_HostEnt = nil then
  begin
    ShowMessage('Bad host lookup!');
    Exit;
  end;
  i := 0;
  while True do
  begin
    // h_addr_list 是一個指標，它指向另一個指標
    // 或者說，它是一個指向字元陣列的指標
    p := p_HostEnt^.h_addr_list^;
    if p[i] = #0 then
      break;
    Move(p[i], addr, sizeof(TInAddr));
    Memo1.Lines.Add('Address ' + IntToStr(i) + ': ' + inet_ntoa(addr));
    Inc(i);
  end;
end;

//
// C++ 版本 (取自 Winsock FAQ)
//
#include <conio.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <winsock.h>
