Hi !

Is there a function which allows me to find out my current IP address ?

My best guess was to use gethostbyname("localhost") but that always returns
127.0.0.1. 

When I dial in to my provider via NT-RAS, I'm assigned a dynamic IP address -
which is what I'm trying to find out.

Anyone ;-) ?

Thanks in advance.
