I suppose I could send my own IP address a packet, capture it, and then read the data out of the header...but that seems roundabout! Better ideas appreciated... I'm not too clear about cross platform mechanisms since this is basically a function of the driver at the data link layer. In most UNIX systems, you can use Sysctl to get the NET_RT_IFLIST and read it from there as described in Stevens "UNIX Network Programming" CTL_NET.AF_ROUTE.0.AF_INET.NET_RT_IFLIST.0 This might at least cover other UNIX like systems (versus the System Configuration Framework which is Mac OS X only). - Peter _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
