Retrieving the Transport Address for IPX and IP

To retrieve the protocol-specific transport address, you can send a request to the transport layer. Since the MAC address usually matches the transport address on IPX, you can use the same sequence as the one to identify the MAC address:
NWSipxOpenSocket() NWSipxGetInternetAddress()
To retrieve the transport address from IP, you can call the sequence
WSAStartup() GetHostName() GetHostByName() WSACleanup()
In an transport-independent approach, you could request your transport address from the server/NDS with the sequence:
NWCCGetConnInfo(connHandle, NWCC_INFO_CONN_NUMBER, .., connNum) NWGetInetAddr(connHandle, connNum, ..)
