I've found that the existing approach - send a multicast packet, receive it, and look at the source address - is the most reliable way, for most people's systems, to find their source address. If that fails, we try calling gethostname()+gethostbyname(). The combination of those two methods seems to work for most people. (Remember also that we want code that will work on Windoze systems as well as Unix.)
Those rare people who have weird systems for which this doesn't work are welcome to write their own implementation, of course. -- Ross Finlayson Live Networks, Inc. http://www.live555.com/ _______________________________________________ live-devel mailing list live-devel@lists.live555.com http://lists.live555.com/mailman/listinfo/live-devel
