Ok, Im using direct play. What would be the best way for the server to get the players' IP addresses? ID = createnetplayer(name$) IP = getPlayerIP(ID) function getPlayerIP(ID) ; fill in the blank return IP end function

mh you can use "CountHostIps()"... But why are you using DP ? TCP/UDP is better...

Failure to understand puki's post? Anywho.. the BlitzPlus section isn't very populated; you will get faster responses to most things if you post in something like the Blitz3D section (DirectPlay is in all the first gen Blitz languages, you know).
