Does anyone know a function to return the users current ip address like "127.0.0.1" (abvioulsy that is loopback address but you get the point) as a char array or something i can convert to a char array (string, CString, etc) I want to be able to display the users ip address to him.

Depends.

A script running on a web server can return the REMOTE_ADDR property from the server environmental variables.

Where do you want to do this? ( ie from a webpage, from DirectPlay, from Winsock ... )

If it''s from winsock then just use the inet_ntoa() function.

This should get all the user's IP's except the localhost. Put them in a null terminated string. WinSock should be initialized first:

    int i = 0;char HostName[32];HOSTENT * HostInfo;char * LocalIPs[5] = {NULL};// Get IP Addresses of local computergethostname(HostName, 32);HostInfo = gethostbyname(HostName);while((IsBadStringPtr(HostInfo->h_addr_list[i], 4) == 0) && (i < 5)){	LocalIPs[i] = new char[16];	sprintf(LocalIPs[i], "%i.%i.%i.%i", 	short(unsigned char(HostInfo->h_addr_list[i][0])),	short(unsigned char(HostInfo->h_addr_list[i][1])),		short(unsigned char(HostInfo->h_addr_list[i][2])),		short(unsigned char(HostInfo->h_addr_list[i][3])));	i++;}

Good luck,

Jasper
