This function does not retrieve the host name. It uses the host name to retrieve host information such as IP address.

What's wrong with using the system-defined MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH?

[Surivevoli]

Could you tell me : How to get my IP address ??? What's happened if my computer don't connect to the Internet or LAN, or i don't install IIS ??? And: If i connect over LAN, how to get other Computer name if i know its IP and how to get other computer's IP if i know its name ?

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().

Surivevoli wrote:

and how to get other computer's IP if i know its name ?

Use gethostbyname().

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()
