Re: Computer name and IP.

Here's another take on the same idea that flect posted:

//
// Returns the host name and IP address
//
CString GetHostName(CString &csIPAddress)
{
    CString compName;
    _TCHAR buff[MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH + 1];
    DWORD count = MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH + 1;
    compName.Empty();
    if (::GetComputerName(buff, &count)) {
        compName = buff;
        WORD wVersionRequested;
        WSADATA wsaData;
        char name[255];
        PHOSTENT hostinfo;
        wVersionRequested = MAKEWORD( 1, 0 );
        if(WSAStartup(wVersionRequested, &wsaData) == 0) {
                if(gethostname(name, sizeof(name)) == 0) {
                    if((hostinfo = gethostbyname(name)) != NULL) {
                        csIPAddress = inet_ntoa (*(struct in_addr
*)*hostinfo->h_addr_list);
                    }
                }
                WSACleanup( );
        }
    }
    return compName;
}

I use these includes, but I'm not sure if all of them are needed for this
function.

#include <winsock.h>
#include <nspapi.h>
#include <winnetwk.h>
