Hi,

Anyone know why it is that I dont get the ISP number when I use
getenv("LOCAL_ADDR")

I get the local addresss.........IE 127.0.0.1 but not the assigned address
by my ISP which I thought would then be the LOCAL_ ADDRESS or is it that I
am not requesting the correct address??

If not anyone have any ideas?

Watcom11 Win 98

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I have discovered what was wrong and it wasnt the function.

When I log in via my "machine name" rather than "localhost" I get the
correct ISP address.

wrong http://localhost/cgi.exe?entry
right http://mymachine/cgi.exe?entry

Thanks all the same
