he speaks the truth.

I meant using Winsock

That's the loopback address on any computer.

Code:

char * local_host_info(char buffer[]) {
  int index = 0;
  const int max = 200;
  char local[max];
  hostent * find;
  int result;

  buffer[0] = 0;
  strcat( buffer, "Local host name: " );
  result = gethostname( local, max );
  find = gethostbyname( local );

  if( !find || result == SOCKET_ERROR ) {
      strcat( buffer, "Information not Available.\n" );
      return buffer;
    }

  strcat( buffer, local );

  while( find->h_addr_list[ index ] ) {
    strcat( buffer, "\n" );
    strcat( buffer, inet_ntoa( *(in_addr*)find->h_addr_list[ index++ ] ) );
  }

 return strcat( buffer, "\n\n\n");
}




int main() {

char buff[256]

//...initialize winsock...

printf("My info \n\n%s", local_host_info( buff ));

return 0;
}
