I want to know my ip address for internet. I use gethostname() and then gethostbyname() with the result of the first. Now I get a list of all my IPs, but how do I know which one is the internet ip? The only way I can imagine is to check which network class the ip is. Is this a good idea, or is there a better way?
but how can you classify them ?
One idea, you know your IP and sub-net mask. Compare the IP's net id with yours ( using mask and IP ). If it is the same you know that it belongs to your subnet. Otherwise it belongs to the outer subnet/network.
Well, I know my IP but I can't hard code it because it is a multi-user program. And that is also the problem with classification of the IPs:Quote:
