Get IP Address from a socket.
Can someone please provide an example on how to get the IP Address of a socket. I mean the computer IP that initiaited the connection with my server. I want the IP Address in string form. You know: x.x.x.x
Will a mod please delete all my other WinSock topics for I have solved them?
I am using the RAW WinSock API not the WinSock API that MFC provides but the one provided by wsock32.lib.

checkout getsockname() and getpeername() APIs.
For the IP address of the remote client connected on the socket.
The getpeername function retrieves the name of the peer to which a socket is connected.
int getpeername(
SOCKET s,
struct sockaddr* name,
int* namelen
);
For local IP connected to the remote client or server.
getsockname
The getsockname function retrieves the local name for a socket.
int getsockname(
SOCKET s,
struct sockaddr* name,
int* namelen
);
In both APIs above, IP address (local or remote) is returned in structure "name".
Thanks,
