Sample Code:

IntPtr pBuf = IntPtr.Zero;
int nBufSize = 0;
// get the required buffer size            
GetIpAddrTable( IntPtr.Zero, ref nBufSize, false );
// allocate the buffer
pBuf = Marshal.AllocHGlobal( nBufSize );
int r = GetIpAddrTable( pBuf, ref nBufSize, false );
if ( r != 0 )

Sample Code:

IntPtr pBuf = IntPtr.Zero;

int nBufSize = 0;

// get the required buffer size

GetIpAddrTable( IntPtr.Zero, ref nBufSize, false );

// allocate the buffer

pBuf = Marshal.AllocHGlobal( nBufSize );

int r = GetIpAddrTable( pBuf, ref nBufSize, false );

if ( r != 0 )

    throw new System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception( r );

int entrySize = Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(MIB_IPADDRROW));
int nEntries = Marshal.ReadInt32(pBuf);
int tableStartAddr = (int)pBuf + sizeof(int);
for (int i = 0; i < nEntries; i++)
{
    IntPtr pEntry = (IntPtr)(tableStartAddr + i * entrySize);
    MIB_IPADDRROW addrStruct = (MIB_IPADDRROW)Marshal.PtrToStructure(pEntry, typeof(MIB_IPADDRROW));
    string ipAddrStr = IPToString( IPAddress.NetworkToHostOrder((int)addrStruct._address) );
    string ipMaskStr = IPToString( IPAddress.NetworkToHostOrder((int)addrStruct._mask) );
}
if ( pBuf != IntPtr.Zero )
    Marshal.FreeHGlobal( pBuf );

// helper function IPToString
static string IPToString(int ipaddr)
{
    return String.Format( "{0}.{1}.{2}.{3}",
    (ipaddr >> 24) & 0xFF, (ipaddr >> 16) & 0xFF,
    (ipaddr >> 8) & 0xFF, ipaddr & 0xFF);
}

int entrySize = Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(MIB_IPADDRROW));

int nEntries = Marshal.ReadInt32(pBuf);

int tableStartAddr = (int)pBuf + sizeof(int);

for (int i = 0; i < nEntries; i++)

{

    IntPtr pEntry = (IntPtr)(tableStartAddr + i * entrySize);

    string ipMaskStr = IPToString( IPAddress.NetworkToHostOrder(addrStruct._mask) );

}

if ( pBuf != IntPtr.Zero )

    Marshal.FreeHGlobal( pBuf );
