 |
|
I am using IdTCP in an app to connect two
instances of a program.
is there a way of finding out both
RemoteHost and RemoteAddress of the other
side of the peer?
I found that IdTCP->Socket->binding->IP
gets either the ip address or the host.
How can i resolve both of them?

Yes.

You need to use the PeerIP instead:
AnsiString IP = IdTCP->Socket->Binding->PeerIP;
AnsiString Host = GStack->WSGetHostByAddr(IP);

I have already done that and it works.
another problem that i found was that
if i connect the two programs from the same
computer but using my internet IP address
they connect and the ip address is also correct
but the host is my computer name.
can i solve this somehow?
i haven't tried connecting to another pc
yet and so i do not know if the same thing
will happen in such case.
I would prefer not to resolve the computer
name of the peer but it's DNS.

Then why did you ask for something you already knew?

As well it should be.

That is what WSGetHostByAddr() is already doing.
