[dco045]

Hi,

I'm looking to use host_addr and I receive a run time error popup

saying "HOST_ADDR" variable not defined or mispelled keyword

I guess I have to

uses "the good module"

But the help pages does not indicate the name of the needed module

I tried

uses "inet"
uses "lan"

without success.

Please . . . . .

Check \SampleScripts\INet\INet_GetIPs.tBasic

[ErosOlmi]

Module is iNet
Your computer can have multiple network cards and cards can be activate/deactivated on the fly. For example if you connect to WiFi networks or you activate a VPN over a network.

Uses "inet"Uses "Console"

Hi Eros,

Your example works fine. But what about functions :

n = HOST_ADDR [(nIndex)]

s = HOSTIP_TONAME(nIP)

n = HOSTNAME_TOIP(sHost)

as they appear in online and offline Helpfiles ?

If you press F1 while above a keyword you should get help about that keyword.
Help should say which module that keyword is inside.
The mentioned functions are inside TcpUdp module.
TcpUdp module implements some functionalities to create a Tcp or Udt server or use Tcp or Udp protocol to connect to a server that exposes some functionality over network.
There are some scripts inside \SampleScripts\TcpUdp\ directory that can show how to create a network communication using Tcp and Udp

Example on your mentioned functions:

uses "TcpUdp"uses "Console"


string sHost = "www.google.com"
Long nIp


nIp = HOSTNAME_TOIP(sHost)                      '---How your DNS resolve a host name
printl "HOSTNAME_TOIP of", sHost, "is", nIp
printl "IP_ToString is", IP_ToString(nIp)       '---Translate Ip address into human one
printl "HOSTIP_TONAME is", HOSTIP_TONAME(nIp)   '---How your DNS knows the ip

HI Eros,
But the reason I posted on these function is that the relevant

uses "tcpudp"

doesn't appear in help files either online or offline.

As I said in my PM of 21 january, I begin using ThinBasic and I make huge use of help files, and before disturbing TB developpers , be sure that, I try, try, press F1, read help, look in SamplesScripts. My F1 key is completely worn out.
So for this precise case, help files may be completed.
