AW: ip address of server

[Florian Bogeschdorfer]

There is no way to automatically receive the server IP adress.

The only thing you can do, is:

1. Read the client ID and usually the first three numbers will be identical.

2. Try with localHost first (server could be client as well)

3. Try to connect with changing the last number (4th) of the client IP from
1 to 255 and see if the server answers

But this is a time-consuming thing.

I agree with Ken: Installting a Vserver application demands some knowledge
from the user (like the server must have a fixed IP number), so he must be
able to enter the server IP. Then store it and that's it.

Best regards, Florian
