Answer 1

From within your code that is running on the client?

InetAddress.getByName("hostname").getHostAddress();

will get any host's IP address

or

InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress();

will give you the local host's IP address (loopback IP).

both give a string representation of the IP address
