    Sending data to yourself.

    I am wondering if I am using a winsock control and I want to send data to my own computer if I should use my ip address or should I use 127.0.0.1.

    Thanks!

    If the computer receiving the message should be the same one thats sending the message then yes, 127.0.0.1 is the IP you should use.
