getting your ip
Author
is there a function i can call to retrieve my ip address. I want to be able to do this in game so I can show the user his/her ip address. I know how to get it using winipcfg but that is from the run command in windows. I want to do this in game and store the ip in a char string like
char ip[20] = "127.0.0.1";

I think what you''re looking for is gethostname() in winsock.h. It takes a character pointer to store the address and an integer for its length.
Hope that helps,

that is almost right.......
that returns to me the name of my computer on our university network
what i am looking for is the actual ip address
ie
"123.123.123.123" os whatever

I think you should be able to use one of the gethost or gethostby functions to to decompose the ip.
LPHOSTENT thisputer;
char FAR * hname = "";
gethostname(hname,sizeof(hname));
thisputer = gethostbyname(hname);
thisaddy = ((LPIN_ADDR)thisputer->h_addr_list[0]);
sprintf(test,"Your IP is: %s.",inet_ntoa(*thisaddy));
hope it''s usefull
