ok, having (more and more and more) pointer troubler this time its trying to get my IP but i can't seem to get even 1 out of the hostent.
i know that this returns one of multiple network adresses, but looping throught htem wron't be to hard once i manage to get 1 I suppose)
Code:
char localName[256];
LPHOSTENT localMachine;
//geting host name for local 'puter
gethostname(localName, sizeof(localName));
//making a hostent with above name
localMachine = gethostbyname(localName);
//getting first adress
//HELP NEEDED HERE PLEASE =)
char * addrList = *(localMachine->h_addr_list[0]);
//print IP (hopefuly)
MessageBox(NULL,addrList,"your adress is...",MB_OK);
i get a message box with garbage in it
TIA peeps
