Hi,

When you go into a MS-DOS prompt and type in IPCONFIG, which one of the IP addresses is the one that people can send chat messages to you(if they know the address)??????

**dflw** · Dec 11th, 2001, 06:32 PM

I mean the one where you can connect to another using the winsock control. Which ever one it is, does it change each time you go onto the internet?

Your IP may change depending on your ISP. Some (most) will give a new IP every time you logon.

Use the zipped .exe I attached, and put it on your desktop for easy reference.

thanks,

So is there a way I can get a persons new IP if I have their original one? I am making a chatroom, and it will only work effectively with those people whose IP address never change. Those whose ip changes every time will eventually flood my "server" with ip's...

dont do any hacking with IP hacking is bad

Thanks, MP that's great.

As for getting IPs for changing ones, don't. Don't store the IP of the 'clients' have them refreshed by the client when it changes. (I assume the server won't change.)

ok

**dflw** · Dec 11th, 2001, 06:56 PM

OK, but how do I get their "new" IP addresses???????????

What the hell are you talking about?!?

dflw - when a client logs into your server, their IP address will be the RemoteHost (I think) of one of your server winsocks.

You should probably read up a bit on client-server apps with winsock.
