    WORD wVersionRequested;
    WSADATA wsaData;
    char name[255];
    CString ip;

    wVersionRequested = MAKEWORD ( 2,0 );
    if ( WSAStartup ( wVersionRequested, &wsaData ) == 0)
    {
        if ( gethostname ( name, sizeof( name )) == 0)
       {
            if ((hostinfo = gethostbyname(name)) != NULL )
