Solution 1

I believe that the socket object knows the ip it's connected to. Of course, you gave almost no information, so I'm only guessing that your using the CSocket class.

Solution 2

I believe you are using a 3rd party lib here? If so you need to look up their documentation. If you can mention the name of the library perhaps someone may be able to help you.

I think it would be best to post a question in the forum under that specific article.

Forum is empty. Old link as well. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
