Peter,
Hi. Unfortunately there is no short answer.
You will need to call gethostname, pass the return value to gethostbyname.
This returns a pointer to the hostent structure. The h_addr_list member of
this structure points to list of pointers that point to the list of IP
addresses that have been assigned to the local machine. You will then need
to loop through these addresses and see if your IP address is in the list.
Be careful about network / i386 byte ordering.
HTH,
Dennis.
