Converting PB 12.5 application to 64 Bit PB2017 R3 and having issue with an External Function that calls GetHost from pbws32.dll. Is there any other way to get the machine IP Address without using pbws32.dll. Should work on both 32 and 64 Bit. Thanks

Gentlemen,

Thank you very much, your suggested solution worked. We can now replace pbws32.dll.

Just followed the suggestion from Chris below.



Hi Pacito;



Roland has a great free example of this on his website: http://www.topwizprogramming.com/freecode_winsock.html



I believe that he uses the "gethostbyname" SDK call for this from the MS-Windows "ws2_32.dll" DLL



HTH

It also has a function to return the public IP address. It connects to the Google DNS server and uses getsockname to return the address that Google sees.
