gethostbyaddr

[Skute]

Can anyone tell me if the following code *should* work?
Its just that pClientEnt is always NULL. That ip address is my local address, ive tried it with remote addresses (such as googles - 216.239.59.99) but it is still NULL.

strcpy(tNewClient.IPAddress, "192.168.1.26"
pClientEnt = gethostbyaddr(tNewClient.IPAddress, (int)strlen(tNewClient.IPAddress), tNewClient.SockAddr.sin_family);


gethostname works ok, it can detect my computer name, but i just cant detect who is connected to me.

Thanks

maybe you shold initialize like this:

char IPAddress[4] = {192, 168, 1, 26};
//this is not a regular string

and do like this:
gethostbyaddr(tNewClient.IPAddress, 4, tNewClient.SockAddr.sin_family);
