    IP address network order to string?

    I'm trying to convert an IP address in network order into a dotted decimal string... I cannot seem to figure out how to do this! I've been looking for AGES. I've tried the following ways but they both do absolutely nothing :/

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <Winsock2.h>
    #include <Ws2tcpip.h>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main() {
    	sockaddr_in serv;
    	memset(&serv, sizeof(serv), 0);
    
    	serv.sin_addr.S_un.S_addr = inet_addr("192.168.1.1");
    	serv.sin_family = AF_INET;
    	serv.sin_port = htons(22);
    
    	char ip[16] = {0};
    
    	WSAAddressToString((sockaddr *)&serv, sizeof(serv), 0, ip, (LPDWORD)sizeof(ip));
    	printf("IP: %s\n", ip);
    	getnameinfo((sockaddr *)&serv, sizeof(serv), 0, 0, ip, sizeof(ip), 0);
    	printf("IP: %s\n", ip);
    }
    Output:

    Code:
    IP: 
    IP:
    I'm using Windows XP which is why I'm not using inetNtop or whatever it is... (It's Vista only apparently). Compiler is Visual C++ Express. Thanks.
    Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.

    The function you are looking for is inet_ntop()
    Code:
    >+++++++++[<++++++++>-]<.>+++++++[<++++>-]<+.+++++++..+++.[-]>++++++++[<++++>-] <.>+++++++++++[<++++++++>-]<-.--------.+++.------.--------.[-]>++++++++[<++++>- ]<+.[-]++++++++++.
