Hi Alessio,

Thanks for the example. It works fine on my Win XP Pro Sp2 box.

Hello Alessio.

I got nothing. Here's output:

Code: [Select]

FILE *fp;
fp = fopen("ip.txt", "wb");
fwrite(buffer, sizeof(buffer), 1, fp);
fclose(fp);

Hi CLR,

simply use more space for buffer variable.
Change recv buffer from 2048 to 4096.

Code: [Select]

// recv
char buffer[4096] = { 0 };
if ( recv (s, buffer, 4096, 0) == SOCKET_ERROR )
{
WSACleanup();

return "recv error";
}

Hello Alessio. Thanks.

For some reason changing from 2048 to 4096 didn't work. Another recv dit

Code: [Select]

char buffer[4096] = { 0 };
if ( recv (s, buffer, 4096, 0) == SOCKET_ERROR )
{
WSACleanup();

return "recv error";
}

[b]recv (s, buffer, 4096, 0);[/b]


[Alessio]

pls save to file buffer output and attach it!
Otherwise look for specified string like "My IP: " or "IP Location: "

thank you.

Hi Alessio.

I'm back. Please see the attachment. Thanks!

Hi,

as you can see, you ip appear on file named ip2.txt, where appears next 4096 bytes of ip1.txt.
I don't know why your buffer is not large enough, but if you try a more big buffer, you'll success.
Try with 8192, 16304 or more.

Bye, Alessio.
