NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress() in a remote computer

[Manuel Leiria]

This is the code I have. Obviously it doesn't work because the given ip is a remote computer.

My question is:is it possible to use some sort of this code (something similar) to get the NetworkInterface of a remote machine?

InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getByName("10.191.41.175");
 
System.out.println("InetAddress:" + addr);
System.out.println("Host Name:" + addr.getHostName());
System.out.println("Host Address:" + addr.getHostAddress());
			
NetworkInterface ni = NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress(addr);
System.out.println("Network Interface:" + ni);

System.out.println("Display Name: " +ni.getDisplayName());//NullPointerException is here

    

thanks in advance,

Assuming you have a connection via Socket, you can look at the socket class, you will see a method called getRemoteSocketAddress that returns a SocketAddress which will print the IP address and port of the other endpoint. That is probably the most direct way.
