Well then my follow-up e-mail is completely useless. -Warren Agin ----- Original Message ----- From: Jerry Feldman To: discuss at blu.org Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 2:32 PM Subject: Re: Win9x question... I think you still need to put this in context. Kevin is writing a program. It is easy to find this informaiton by hand, more difficult to get it programatically. I can generally answer much of the programming questions in C or C++ but not in terms of a BASIC dialect I don't know. From a program there are roughtly 3 ways: 1. Directly through an API. (best way) 2. Indirectly by calling a standard command and parsing the output. 3. By looking at Windows internal structures. I consider the Registry as an internal structure in this context). Host names are generally associated with each interface. On Windows, there are pseudo interfaces. So you need to find the one associated with the NIC or the IP address, or on a LAN without IP, the appropriate host name, also associatred with a NIC card. On 26 Jun 2002 at 13:46, Warren E.
