I'm using Microsoft Visual C++ version 6.0. GetIpAddrTable does not seem to exist in that. Is there a particular .h file and library I should use?

ASKER

Oh yea, I'm writing in C not C++.

you need the following
include: Iphlpapi.h
and
lib: Iphlpapi.lib

and I sent you to this URL:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/iphlp/iphlp/getipaddrtable.asp
because it has all the details, pluss a sample

version 6.0 does not have that file.

You'll need platform SDK (actually I think it exists on the VC6 CDs)

ASKER

I have everything loaded from the CDs and when I look at help under the platform SDK functions, they are all there. The help does not mention GetIpAddrTable. I think there is another way to do it with VC6.

did you check my second post above
did you click that link?

ASKER

DoctorMahdi, yes I did but it appears to be C++. At the time you posted that I realized I had forgotten to say I am using C. It is a very large embedded system and I can't change to C++.
