In java you cannot. Probably if you know what system/os you're on, you
could execute some external program and parse the output, but not
(easily) otherwise.

Use this call

InetAddress ipAddr = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
String numericIP = ipAddr.getHostAddress();

It'll work if your TCP/IP properties are configured ok.
