I'm not sure what your IP address would be;), but to get your computer's IP address, use gethostname() followed by gethostbyname().

Then I guess it doesn't get access to certain resources.

Regardless of who does not install it, the computer does not get to utilize any of the benefits that IIS offers.

Use gethostbyaddr().

Do you just refuse to look anything up for yourself? Look in WinBase.h for this value.

Yes, but he shouldn't. Using the proper APIs is much less likely to fail in odd ways.

Now taking suggestions for the next release of CPhog...

[Surivevoli]

I don't know to use parameters: Could you tell me use parameters in these function: gethostname() gethostbyname() gethostbyaddr() Could you teach me step by step ???

[David Crow]

Did you not see my question here? Posting questions/replies here takes a lot more time than it does to just search for the answer. gethostname()
