    Look, my problem is that server program doesn’t bind to the valid IP such as 86.57.91.230. But it binds to the invalid IP such as 192.168.0.1.

    Is that IP address 86.57.... the IP address on your router that the outside world sees?

        Have you set your router up to port forward requests from the outside world to your machine? Have you open up that port on your firewall? You need to bind to your local IP address (192.168....) and have the router forward those external requests to your machine.

          Thank you so much, it worked. Now I want to develop the program and write a program such as NETCAT. I want the victim stays at listening state after running the program. The question is how the victim get its public IP to stays at listening state with that IP?

            Not sure what you mean by victim, nor am I familiar with netcat. Try clarifying your question and perhaps create a new thread on this forum.

              ok. Here is about NETCAT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netcat) I have written a program in two client and server versions. The server program must be run on the victim computer. I’m controlling the whole of the victim computer by client program. I’ve written this program for LAN. Now I want this program works on the internet while controlling that victim computer with the server program on. The victim computer is connected to the internet by and ADSL broadband. My problem is when the server program is being run on the victim computer, how it can get the Public IP and then stays at listening state on that IP address?

                Sounds difficult, as the ADSL router probably doesn't have a static IP address, but if it did, the server software would listen to the local machines' (private) IP address (this probably isn't static either), and the ADSL router would need to have port forwarding setup to send your server machine incoming packets. Lots of this (I'm guessing) is not done programatically. here[^] is an example of the type of setup needed.

                  Dear friend, It’s not important if that public IP (ADSL IP) be static or dynamic. The code below gets public IP of that computer and it must be able bind that IP to the created socket and then stays at the listening state: ... HINTERNET hI, hF; DWORD piSize; char public_ip[15]; hI= InternetOpen(NULL, INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG, NULL, NULL, 0); hF = InternetOpenUrlA(hI, "http://myip.dnsomatic.com", NULL, 0, INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD, 0); InternetReadFile(hF, &public_ip, sizeof(public_ip), &piSize); public_ip[piSize] = '\0'; InternetCloseHandle(hF); InternetCloseHandle(hI); cout << public_ip; ... The main problem is that my server program can’t bind to received public IP.

                    You want to bind to an IP address associated with a NIC on a seperate device (ADSL router)? If so, I don't think you can, and you don't need to (think port forwarding). If not, I'm still not sure what your question is.

                      It's confusing! Let’s imagine my public IP address is 86.57.91.237. Now I want to use that IP in the code below: ... WSAData ws; struct sockaddr_in sock; int resSock, bnd; WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2, 2), &ws); resSock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP); if (resSock != INVALID_SOCKET){ sock.sin_family = AF_INET; sock.sin_port = htons(3377); sock.sin_addr.S_un.S_addr = inet_addr("86.57.91.237"); } bnd=bind(resSock, (struct sockaddr *)&sock, sizeof(sock)); if (bnd != SOCKET_ERROR) cout << "Bind Successful" << endl; else cout << GetLastError() << endl; ... why does this program show error code 10049? Error code 10049 means: “The requested address is not valid in its context. This normally results from an attempt to bind to an address that is not valid for the local computer”. I want to see “Bind Successful” message.

                        Run "ipconfig /all" at the command prompt. Look at the results, there should be data given about each NIC card on YOUR machine. Look at the line that says "IP Address.......xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" (there may be several). Make a list of these IP addresses. If "86.57.91.237" is not in that list, then you can not bind to it. Meaning it is not an IP address associated with a NIC on your computer.
