    [Win32] Wrapping in_addr in a class

    I'm trying to make a neat wrapper that wraps the IP address structures. However, I'm grappling with how to make the class both IPv4 and IPv6 friendly. Can anyone provide any resources (code snippets, links, etc) that can shed some light on how I may approach my design?

    Thanks!

    Just don't use the IPv4 in_addr class. If your wrapper gets passed an IPv4, simply properly load it into the IPv6 class, by taking advantage of it's backwards-compatibility.
