    how to convert hostent member h_addr to a string?

    Hello,

    I have a hostent h_addr and I want to convert that to a string IP address. How can I do that?

    I tried this:

    Code:
    string ipaddress;
struct hostent *h;
h = gethostbyname(hostname.c_str());
ipaddress=h->h_addr;
    but that doesnt work..

    Thanks!
