How to get phone's ip

[Agent_BK]

So here's the deal:

I wrote a server that runs on nokia phone

import socket

HOST = ''                 # Symbolic name meaning the local host
PORT = 12008              # Arbitrary non-privileged port
print "define the socket"
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
print "bind the socket"
s.bind((HOST, PORT))
s.listen(1)
print "waiting of the client to connect"
conn, addr = s.accept()
print 'Connected by', addr
while 1:
    data = conn.recv(1024)
    if not data: break
    conn.send(data)
conn.close()

Everything ok so far BUT now writing a client on PC I need to know phone's ip so I can establis connection to it
and I want application which runs on phone to tell me phone's ip... how do I do it?

oh and this wont work:

it sais there's no method "select_access_point()" or something like that

hi !

Import btsocket and use this module for setting an access point. use the ip() method of the access point object to retrieve the current ip address.

take care,

Thanks Julian... I did it with btsocket and ip() method... however I think problem was not in code but in my access point... I tried to set the access point manually on my N95 but apparently did something wrong...
So I suggest the following procedure for setting up the access point:
Connectivity -> Connection manager -> Available WLAN -> select the wlan and from the application menu select "create access point" or something similar
Hope this will save some trouble to some of you...

Another problem :/
apo.ip() method returns ip which starts with 169. which apparently means something went wrong
in following tutorial it sais if you get 169 ip there is probbably something wrong with access point:
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...ss_using_PyS60
but what?
And weird thing is if I log into my wireless router and see which devices are connected to it I can see my phone with a valid 192.x.x.x ip assigned to it...

I also wrote client in Java which runs on PC... I get error no matter which ip I use to log to the server on nokia... I will also try to write a client in C# since I am more familiar with it but I am pretty sure the problem is not on client but on server...

anyone has any experience with this issue?

Noone knows the anwser?

I temporarly solved the problem by setting static ip for the access point I am using but this is not a very practical way to do it... well at least I can establish connection now and apo.ip() returns the static ip I previously set up
But I am still wondering why this won't work with dynamic ip and will always throw 169.x.x.x ip?
