It's simple, get the IP of the domain name "localhost", works in every programming languaje (that supports sockets) in any Windows version... :)

i was try that but it is not worked...
inet_ntoa(inet_addr("localhost"))
th return value is "255.255.255.255"

I presume you are joking :grin:
However, it's a way to know if you're connected to the internet or not. Attempting to retrieve the address of localhost returns 127.0.0.1 if not connected, and my real IP if I am (at least at home I've seen it work so... I have Win98 and a dialup connection).

ya that's right but only on dialup connections, but if any one using DSL, ISDN or any Internet line technology it will not work if u want to detect the internet use :

InternetGetConnectedState;
it work for types of connections

To find out your ip, Ping www.google.com, run ipconfig, or even better call your ISP & they will tell you..
