I can't get the correct IP address on Linux...
The following code works properly on Windows and Unix.
But on Linux, I always get the Loopback Address (127.0.0.1)
Here is the code :
                
      //gets the IP via InetAddress class
      //works on UNIX and WIN, but not on LINUX !!
                        
      InetAddress hostIP = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
      String hostIPStr = hostIP.getHostAddress();

Could anyone help ?
Thanks in advance !
