I'm working on a chat program, bolstered by the help
of others on the list. I want to get the IP address of
the person chatting with me, even if they don't know
how to get it themselves. I investigated hostAddress
and peerAddress but ran into a puzzle -- can anyone
explain it?
I'm chatting on my Win98 machine between two stacks
with different addresses, 208.193.15.192 given to me
by the ISP, and 127.0.0.1, the loopback address. In
each stack I have a button with this script:
on mouseUp
put fld "sendIPfld" into vIP
put fld "sendSocketFld" into vSocket
put vIP&":"&vSocket into tDest
open socket tDest
put hostAddress(tDest)&return&peerAddress(tDest)
into fld resultFld
close socket tDest
end mouseUp
>From each stack I get the same result -- the
hostAddress and the peerAddress are the same, and that
address is for the stack that I am connecting to, not
the address for the stack with the button. Shouldn't
they be different?
I'm using two different port numbers -- one to go from
the 208.193.15.192 address to the 127.0.0.1 address,
and one to go back the other way. But I don't see how
that could make any difference.
Any help would be much appreciated. Michael Kann,
