Also I can't help but suggest you use the Ecere functions instead of the WinSock API directly, to fulfill Ecere's aspiration for cross-platform applications:

GetAddressFromName, GetNameFromAddress and GetHostName will help you do what you're doing here with much ease.
I tried the sample code from the sample eCom but I got blank strings for hostName and hostAddress.Was I missing something?

Code: Select all

 
Button button1
   {
      this, text = "button1", position = { 184, 112 };
 
      bool NotifyClicked(Button button, int x, int y, Modifiers mods)
      {
         char hostName[256], address[64];
         GetHostName(hostName, sizeof(hostName));
         GetAddressFromName(hostName, address); 
         MessageBox{contents=hostName}.Modal();
         MessageBox{contents=address}.Modal();    
         return true;
      }
   };

Sam, good catch!

It seems that the networking system needs to be initialized first for these functions to work.
An easy way is by declaring a global Service or Socket object:

Code: Select all

Socket socket { };
That will get them to work.
Would you please file a Mantis bug report? :)

Thanks!
