I have a problem how to find out whether the user is currently connected to INET or not. If so then I need to determine his IP address. Anyone knows how to do that? I am using C++ Builder 4. Thanks in advance for your help.

Check out the following Win32 Internet function from Microsoft''s MSDN web site:

I think the function that you''re looking for is called "gethostname()". I''m not sure if that''s available for Borland, but it is for Visual C++. I think it would be in Borland though since it''s a standard Winsock function.

Hope that helps.
