IP address
hello guys,
pls...pls...and pls help me to get the IP number of a PC.
its very necessary for me to detect it, but i don't know the procedure.
i want to detect any computer's (it can be under network connection or a stand alone PC) IP address.
pls help me.
am using Turbo C editor and its compiler.
my OS is Windows 98,2000 and NT.
thanx...
take care...

On win 9x:
start|run| winipcfg
On win nt/2k:
start|run| cmd
>ipconfig
IP ADDRESS...
sorry, i want to detect it by my Turbo C program.
its very important for me.
any idea or suggestion or hint or code for Turbo C compatible will be highly appreciated.
pls help me.
i want exactly that, at the starting point of my prog, it will first detect and pick the IP address of the current PC or terminal, then that prog will run.
thanx...
take care...

Jackie,
Are you interested in determining the IP address of the machine that has connected to your program, or do invision your application monitoring all IP connections on the system?

yes...

u got my point.
i want exactly what u said.
thanx...

umm... he asked you a question with 2, count em 2, possible answers there...
As you are on the windows platform, you would be better off getting a windows compiler and reading the hundreds of Winsock threads on this board as a starter
IP address...
guys,
i only want to know that, when my program is running in a machine, my prog how can pick that machine's IP address.
it is my prog's part to detect its PC's IP whether it is an end-user PC or network connected. it should get that number at the beggining of the prog everytime.
fordy and others, am using Turbo C and its compiler and i have not any desire of using any win compiler.
pls give me a solution or any kind of idea.
thanx...
take care...

for a program to connect to your machine there must be some port that it must be listening on ... if you know the port nos
use socket program set interface card to promiscuous mode and read the packets or do recvfrom this will fill the buffer and use inet_ntoa to know the ip there from
read beej guide to network programming

Your choice, but as you are programming on the windows platform and you want a service that could so easily be provided by the winsock API you may be making life hard for yourself......and as you can get DevC++ for free....there's no cost implementation
