TCP Open Server - user specified IP

[Scott Turchin]

What is the format for the IP here, I"m not a whiz at the backwards IP, long variable format....

I have machines with multiple IP's and while my IP is first in the binding order I want to specify the IP (as a user option)...

local nServerIP as long (?)


nServer = FreeFile
nServerIP = Val(g_ServerIP)
Tcp Open Server Addr nServerIP Port g_Port As nServer TimeOut 5000

if your ip address is:
a.b.c.d

and you want the long integer format of that, i'm pretty sure it will be:

a*(256*256*256) + b*(256*256) + c*256 + d

or something like that. is that what you're looking for?
