See: GetAdaptersInfo

In short: you need to define _WIN32_WINNT and WINVER with the correct
values, befor including the h-file.

The following code works perfectly with VC7.1:

<code>
#include <winsock2.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <Iphlpapi.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "Iphlpapi.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "wsock32.lib")

void main()
{
 ULONG ip;
 ULONG buflen;
 PIP_ADAPTER_INFO pAdInfo = NULL;
 PIP_ADAPTER_INFO pAdInfo_c = NULL;

 buflen = 0;
 GetAdaptersInfo(pAdInfo, &buflen);
 pAdInfo = (struct _IP_ADAPTER_INFO *)new UCHAR[buflen+1];
 pAdInfo_c = pAdInfo;
 if (GetAdaptersInfo(pAdInfo, &buflen) == ERROR_SUCCESS)
 {
  do
  {
   ip = inet_addr(pAdInfo->IpAddressList.IpAddress.String);
   if ((ip != 0)&&(ip != 0x7f000001))
   {
    if (pAdInfo->AddressLength != 0)
    {
      printf("Adapter-Name: %s\nDescription: %s\nAddress:",
pAdInfo->AdapterName, pAdInfo->Description);
      for (int i = 0; i < (int)pAdInfo->AddressLength; i++)
        printf(" %02X", pAdInfo->Address[i]);
      printf("\n\n");
    }
   }
   pAdInfo = pAdInfo->Next;
  } while (pAdInfo != NULL);
 }
 delete pAdInfo_c;
}
</code>

If you use VC6 or older, you need to update your PSDK
(or declare the structure by your own, but then I think you also need to
 dynamically load the address of the funtions; because you do not have
the correct lib-file)

And aditional question:

#include <Iphlpapi.h> only works in VC7.0?
Is possible to download file and then I add it to the proyect in VC6.0?

Thanks again.

Ok Nishant, I have reviewed the code and I found that #include Iphlpapi.h
it's a main requirement to implement the proyect; how I did not have it,then
I have downloaded VCToolKitSetup, and after that I just found that file.

I have included it in the same code (lines below) but the new problem is
GetAdaptersInfo' : undeclared identifier

What is the next step?
Thanks in advanced,

German Medina

Could you build my sample project? If not, it's possible that your include
directories are not setup properly.

Nishant :

Would you point me out how can I set up the include directories ?
Because, When I have downloaded VCToolKitSetup, Iphlpapi.h was saved in a
different directory than //Microsoft Visual Studio/VC98/MFC/Incude, I had
copied Iphlpapi.h to  //Microsoft Visual Studio/VC98/MFC/Incude.

I guess, here is the problem. What do you think ?

Uhm, copying files from a newer PSDK into an existing one is not a good
idea. You'll end up with a bunch of header files that aren't matched.

You seem to be using VC++ 6. Go to Tools-Options-Directories. You can
set/change the search order there.
