trying to get the local ip using wininet

[n***@gmail.com]

Hey!

Is there a way to get the local machine IP by using the wininet
library, I am trying to get the IP of the machine on which the client
is running on.

There is a simple call that one can make in java
ipAddress = (InetAddress.getLocalHost()).getHostAddress();

I want to do something similar to this in vc++.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not aware of a WinInet function to do that.

You can use WinSock's getaddrinfo function (which replaced to gethostbyname)

Here you can find some help about the function:

Hope this can help you
