Posting and Retrieving IP Address???

[omarswan]

How can I create a program that can Post my IP address on my web-site so that someone can retrieve it after I have posted it. Note, the other party must also be able to post and retrieve the IP Address's. I want to use this to create a chat program. Any help would be gladly appreciated.

Thanks..

I did this with VB as the client, calling a CGI script on the web site with INET (but INET sucks), and then with Winsock to make the direct connection to the 2 chat users.
Currently I'm going to use C++ only and their sockets (so you could use winsock only--in VB--but winsock sucks too).
Check out cgi101.com (that's how I began learning to do it). Of course you have to have CGI access on your web site.

I suppose you could create a public folder with read/write access to all, and keep a text file there. retrieve and write to that text file when necessary.

that is one possibility....
