Lo,

I've put an interesting document at the following URL:


http://www.hoogervorst.no.spam.no.demon.nl/proteus/files/IPDATA.TXT
	(delete the no.spam.no. from the URL)

This text file documents all ways (at least, those I'm aware of) to
get the IP data in DOS programs running under Windows 95.

This document also describes how the WsControl() function seems to
work. WsControl() is an function found in the Microsoft WINSOCK.DLL
and WSOCK32.DLL, and doesn't seem to be documented yet. It's also
available through the WSOCK.VXD, see the WSOCK_CONTROL_CMD. (Note that
WSOCK_CONTROL_CMD requires data sizes, not pointers to data size; but
that should be pretty obvious, because it requires only two map-ins.)

Basically WsControl() function sends command to the lower network. I
don't understand the data returned by WsControl (and the available
commands) fully, but it's a start, isn't it? :-)

Bye.
