    Question Getting a computer IP address

    How do I get a computers IP address. I believe I have to use getaddress... but I'm not sure how to reference it.

    Also how can you check to see if it is on the network

    Thanks

    BTW - Newbee - so speak slowly and draw pictures for me to understand.

    You didn't say which OS you were coding on... so here's a couple of links to get you under way.

    Beej's network guide
    Sockaddr Winsock site
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
