Delphi 5 I have this Internet app that uses Datastead's TVideoGrabber. When another instance of this software connects to the program I need to get the IP address of the connecting machine. How can I get this IP address? Thanks in advance. ___ Free Project Time Tracker for Delphi Developers http://www.cybermatrix.com/pcdelphi.html Back to top Remy Lebeau (TeamB) Guest Posted: Wed Sep 06, 2006 4:52 am    Post subject: Re: How to get IP of connecting client?

Please provide more details. What do you mean how is it connecting and how is that relevant anyway? TVideoGrabber handles all of that. I don't have the source code for TVideoGrabber. ZoneAlarm for example knows what IP is trying to connect to what program regardless of how it is connecting. ___ Free Project Time Tracker for Delphi Developers http://www.cybermatrix.com/pcdelphi.html Back to top Remy Lebeau (TeamB) Guest Posted: Wed Sep 06, 2006 8:11 am    Post subject: Re: How to get IP of connecting client?

What do you mean how is it connecting I mean, where exactly are you trying to obtain the IP address from in the first place, and how are you handing inbound connections? I don't know what you are talking about. Right now I am not actively trying to obtain IP addresses since I don't know how. This is why I am posting here. Again, I am not handling inbound connections, TVideoGrabber is. Quote: how is that relevant anyway? It is very relevant.

Well then, how do I hook directly into the OS's socket stack? ___ Free Project Time Tracker for Delphi Developers http://www.cybermatrix.com/pcdelphi.html Back to top Remy Lebeau (TeamB) Guest Posted: Wed Sep 06, 2006 8:11 am    Post subject: Re: How to get IP of connecting client?

Right now I am not actively trying to obtain IP addresses since I don't know how. That is the topic of this discussion, since that is what you originally asked for. I cannot give you details about how to accomplish that until you provide details about how you are working with the connections in the first place. Quote: This is why I am posting here. Again, I am not handling inbound connections, TVideoGrabber is. Well, you are obviously doing SOMETHING with it. What EXACTLY are you doing? Quote: How could I have a code snippet when I am asking how to do this? There is no way to answer your original question without knowing more details about what you are doing in the first place. Quote: My code is _completely_ _absolutely_ 100% irrelevant to this. My code does not handle the Internet in any way, TVideoGrabber does all that. Understand? How exactly are you using the TVideoGrabber in the first place? It is not irrelevant to your question, since the only way you are going to gain access to the IP addresses is through TVideoGrabber, if it is indeed managing the connections for you. If it does not provide access to the connections, then you have no way to get their information. Quote: Well then, how do I hook directly into the OS's socket stack? You have to write your own NDIS device driver, or else use a third-party driver.

If I understand what you try to say, you are writing a program which doesn't accept itself any IP connection but need to know what is the remote IP for a connection established from a remote computer to a program named TVideoGrabber. Or maybe you wrote a Delphi program using the component TVideoGrabber and that component is accepting connection and you want to know the remote IP address for that connection ?

So you have see in TVideoGrabber source code or to ask the TVideoGrabber author to know how to get hand either directly to the IP address, or a least to the winsock handle for the connection. Using the handle and winsock call (getpeername) you can get the remote IP address. Contribute to the SSL Effort.
