RE: IP ADDRESS OF MACHINE

[Michal Lipták <liptak at isdd dot sk>]

I would connect to some internet IP address and use getsockname() on the
connected socket..

int socket;
sockaddr local_addr;
socklen_t namelen=sizeof(local_addr);

getsockname(socket,&local_addr,&namelen);
printf("My IP is %s",inet_ntoa(local_addr.sin_addr));
