I'm having a very odd little problem where when I establish a connection and use inet_ntoa() to get the remote comp's IP address, it returns "0.0.0.0" no matter who connects... I'm assuming my RemoteAddress structure is being set up correctly because I have accept()'ed the connection on using it. Data flows perfectly across the connection, so there's nothing wrong there... I wonder if it has something to do with Unicode? I'd love any insights you could provide me. Thanks.

//sockaddr_in RemoteAddress; is defined earlier and used to accept() the incoming connection.


char IP[20];
WCHAR RemoteIP[20];

strcpy(IP, inet_ntoa(RemoteAddress.sin_addr));
MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, NULL, IP, -1, RemoteIP, 19);

Well, you certainly seem to have figured it out! It doesn''t help me at all, but at least now I know what''s wrong... accept() isn''t filling in any of the data in the structure. Now why would that be?

I figured it out. And I was sincere, jermz. Even though I figured it out before I came back and read that suggestion of yours, you were right... it was because I was passing NULL to the accept function. Stupid me...

But now I''ve got another problem, for which I think I''ll start a new thread. Thanks again.
