Is there a quick and dirty way to get a remote players IP address? Or am I going to have the Remote player hold the IP in a user defined DirectPlay4.GetPlayerData? Thanks, CoolAcid

If you can get at the socket, there should be a command something like mfc''s GetPeerName, which gives you the IP on the connected socket.

How about .GetPlayerAddress()?
