Finding Caller IP ?

[alan232]

Hi All;

In a network (local), how do I find the caller ip address of Machine B when it uses the native WinSock to reach Machine A? (i.e., Machine A is using WinSock as well and needs to know the IP Address of who just connected.)

I'm using the native WinSock with VFP 6 SP5 and am trying to avoid explicitly sending the IP address with the connection. (I bet the ethernet package no doubt has this data encoded in it).

I'm extremely new to all this and appreciate any help,
Thanks,
Alan

Since you're using Winsock, you can use see Machine B's IP by querying the 'remoteHostIP' property.

Take a look at the "chat" utility on my website. Follow the link by my signature and scroll down until you find it. It may be of some use as an example.
