I'm running linux redhat 7 with jdk 1.3.1_02 and JB 5.0 
I'm trying to get my local IP Address with this code :
InetAddress[] addresses;
addresses = 
InetAddress.getAllByName(InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName());
for (int i=0; i<addresses.length; i++) {
System.out.println(addresses.getHostAddress());
}
}
catch(UnknownHostException e) {
System.out.println (e.getMessage());
}
My problem is that I always get the 127.0.0.1 address.
I'm using DSL to have access to internet.
Is there any way using java api rather than executing system command 
(because I've to write a multiplatform program).

Furthermore, is there anay way to get the subnet mask of the local host ?

TIA

Vincent
