(BI'm not entirely surprised that failed - using "255.255.255.255" is

(BWhat is the LAN address that you used on Win98SE ?
(BIn fact - what's the whole output from "ipconfig" ? Can you check that
(Byou can "ping" the server address from the Win98SE machine ?
(BIs the LAN address you used that of another machine you can access /
(Bcontrol ? If so, could you put a UDP "echo server" on it and try sending
(Bit UDP packets from Win98SE ?
(B
(BIf that works - i.e. you can send a datagram packet and get a reply from
(Bthe server, then the hostAddress() function really, really should work -
(Band if it doesn't, I think it's time for a Bugzilla submission.
(BOTOH, if that doesn't work, then again we may be close to ready for
(BBugzilla - but maybe get back to the list with all the results up till
(Bthen ....
