Method

StringgetLocalHostAddress()
Returns the real IP Address of the NIC for the localhost. 
try {
    return InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress();
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
    throw new RuntimeException(e);
StringgetLocalHostAddress()
Gets the set localhost address as URL string (ipv6 addresses are enclosed in []) 
byte[] addr = localhost.getAddress();
String localHostAddress = localhost.getHostAddress().replaceAll("%10", "");
if (addr.length == 16) {
    localHostAddress = "[" + localHostAddress + "]";
return localHostAddress;
StringgetLocalhostAddress()
get Localhost Address 
String localhostAdress = null;
try {
    final InetAddress localHost = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
    if (localHost != null) {
        localhostAdress = localHost.getHostAddress();
} catch (UnknownHostException ex) {
return localhostAdress;
byte[]getLocalHostID()

Generates an array of 6-bytes that is a fairly reliable identifier of the system on which this code is running. 

try {
    Enumeration<NetworkInterface> netInterfaces = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces();
    byte[] candidateAddress = null;
    for (; netInterfaces.hasMoreElements();) {
        candidateAddress = netInterfaces.nextElement().getHardwareAddress();
        if (!suspiciousHardwareAddress(candidateAddress))
            break;
        else
...
InetAddressgetLocalHostLANAddress()
get Local Host LAN Address 
try {
    InetAddress candidateAddress = null;
    for (Enumeration ifaces = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces(); ifaces.hasMoreElements();) {
        NetworkInterface iface = (NetworkInterface) ifaces.nextElement();
        for (Enumeration inetAddrs = iface.getInetAddresses(); inetAddrs.hasMoreElements();) {
            InetAddress inetAddr = (InetAddress) inetAddrs.nextElement();
            if (!inetAddr.isLoopbackAddress()) {
                if (inetAddr.isSiteLocalAddress()) {
...
StringgetLocalHostName()
get Local Host Name 
if (host_ == null) {
    host_ = getLocalAddress().getCanonicalHostName();
return host_;
StringgetLocalHostName()
get Local Host Name 
if (localHostName == null) {
    init();
return localHostName;
StringgetLocalHostName()
Get local host name. 
String sLocalHostName;
try {
    sLocalHostName = InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName();
} catch (Exception e) {
    sLocalHostName = "127.0.0.1";
return sLocalHostName;
StringgetLocalHostName()
best effort method to determine host name of localhost. 
try {
    final String name = InetAddress.getLocalHost().getCanonicalHostName();
    if (name == null || name.length() == 0) {
        return "localhost";
    } else if (name.equals(InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress())) {
        return "localhost";
    } else {
        return name;
...
StringgetLocalHostName()
Get this computer's name. 
try {
    java.net.InetAddress localMachine = java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost();
    return localMachine.getHostName();
} catch (java.net.UnknownHostException uhe) {
    System.out.println(uhe.toString());
    return "";
