We've used Catalyst Socket Tools for several years (from VB3 onwards) and
had very little trouble from it.

Subject: [pro_vb] Winsock. Alternatives?



Hi groupies,

I'm coding a client/server app that communicates using the Winsock control.
It has worked okay until recently when a customer reported a problem with
it. The problem he has is that Winsock reports the LocalIP address as
0.0.0.192 when it is in fact 192.168.1.124. Very odd. And hence nothing else
works. He is using static IP addresses (like most of the world). Anyone had
a similar problem. If so have you managed to resolve it. If not, is there an
alternative as I have found a few oddities with it. Many thanks,

Mark Roworth
