Need help with winsock

Hi,

I have made a simple chat program. It only works over a lan, for now. It is client/server and it communicates by TCP/IP and a port number.

Below is a little part of the source code. I want to show on the chat screen with who you are connected. Both for the client and for the server. This was easy for the client

Quote:

ConnectedTo = tcpClient.RemoteHost

But now the problem, how let the server screen show with whom a connection is made??

Quote:

Private Sub tcpServer_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
Dim strData As String
ConnectedTo = tcpServer.XXXXXX??

Can anyone help me with my problem??

Thanks in advance.

On the server, when a client tries to connect to it, the Winsock1_ConnectionRequest event is triggered.

MSDN - "For TCP server applications only. The event is activated when there is an incoming connection request. RemoteHostIP and RemotePort properties store the information about the client after the event is activated."

So on the server side, it would be...

ConnectedTo = tcpServer.RemoteHostIP

hope this helps u out.
