Hi Giancarlo,

Nice to see your message here.
My best wishes to you.

:-) You're always in my mind. Respects.

With regards to

hb_InetGetHosts( NetName() )

If my memory is not wrong, it's the most portable way to know what's "your 
address" (or your addresses; GetHosts may return more than one interface known under 
your own name).

As you said, to get the list of physically available interfaces there are system specific low-level APIs. More than POSIX, I think that's it's a system specific call (i.e. I think there are differences in BSD, Solaris, Haiku, and Linux; they can also be found under proc/, but not always in the same places; but I admit that my remembering may be wrong here).
Having it multiplatform-ready at a simple call would galore :-).

Giancarlo.
