Hey, could you all be a bit more specific on this one. I read the man page for gethostbyname and it seems to be returning a generic internal address format. That needs to be converted into a dot notation IP address, and I don't know how to do it.

Also, to extend this a bit, is it possible to obtain the information starting from a file descriptor that is a socket. I.E. if the only piece of information I have about the connection is the file descriptor, can I get the sockaddr_in structure from that to pass to gethostbyname to then convert into an IP?

Thanks!
