How to get my IP address in Win32 [modified]

[Hanan888]

what I need is know the rightmost part of the IP address for example if it's 192.133.14.17 I want to get the 17.

The "17" is on the right side of the address, not the left part, that's probably why you cannot get it.

Sorry for the confusion. Too much hours, I guess... :)

Have you the IP? Is it storead as a string or whatever? i.e. be specific. :)

Sorry for all the confusion I've scattered ... :) I just need to know in my Win32 application what is my IP address.

One way would be:

gethostname();
struct hostent *host = gethostbyname();
struct in_addr *ptr = (struct in_addr *) host->h_addr_list[0]
int octet = ptr->S_un.S_un_b.s_b4;
