Ed,

The Winsock control does a gethostname, yada yada yada call to get it's "Local IP" property. It returns the exact same thing. Ricks' returns the same thing although I can't say exactly what calls he makes to get the information. They all just return the information from the first adapter they find.

>>Does anybody have experience with the Winsock gethostname/gethostbyname/etc. calls? I'm able to successfully get the local hostname and IP address for ONE of my adapters but not for the others in my computer. Is there a way to specify which adapter I want the HOSTENT structure to return info for?I'm using WinNT4sp6.
