Re: How can I obtain my internet address?

Quite interesting. So upnp is not as "universal" as the name may imply. So you open your connection like: upnpConnection = OpenNetworkConnection(#Router_IP, 49152, #PB_Network_TCP) ? If OpenNetworkConnection() could resolve the given router name to it's ip address, shouldn't it work with t...

Re: How can I obtain my internet address?

Marlin UPnP code isn't ready for primetime yet. I've had to change the port to 49152 from 49000 for Win7 to make it connect. However it still fails to retrieve external IP address. I posted it as example code. Yet it should be rather easily adjusted, if needed. Did you compile it as a unicode execu...

Re: How can I obtain my internet address?

They really ought to come up with a standard interface across routers for at least this basic piece of information! "They" came up with upnp quite some time ago ( example code above ; second code tag). An old router would not necessarily come up to date all by itself - some might get some...

Re: How can I obtain my internet address?

Unfortunately the AVIRA Free antivirus that I use in Windows® freaks out and won't let me run it without first turning off the AV. :( Those "Anti"virus programs are sometimes outright dangerous. There was one, that deleted my application without recourse - sometimes. Other times it merely...

Re: How can I obtain my internet address?

Although I'm still not convinced that code is not dependent on an external website I understand, that things may [sometimes] not be what they appear to be, especially in circumstances with unclear perception, but I don't believe the compiler will betray us in such a way as to compile white to black...

Re: How can I obtain my internet address?

Apparently I'm not the only one [having been] handicapped. Even though, I was the one proclaiming that most loudly. ;) There are also 2 distinctly different possibilities to get ones external ip address, depending on the given circumstances. If your router can be reached via DNS, when using Dynamic ...

Re: How can I obtain my internet address?

Marlin , your suggestion appears to be dependent on http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/. It is probably not dependent the way you think it would be. "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/" is merely part of the string the upnp (Universal Plug aNd Play iirc) requires in the communication. This method only c...

Re: How can I obtain my internet address?

Marlin, could you put that in a runnable test please? It is possible, that I have made a mistake posting that here - I am uncertain about that at the moment. To clarify that, I'd like to ask: Assuming that my current condition - physical or environmental... - would not permit me to do the work requ...

Re: How can I obtain my internet address?

My best solution for that so far is to ask the router via upnp for its external ip address - the router must not be set up to suppress that of course. Send a POST request to: /upnp/control/WANIPConn1 to the routers server at port 49000 (upnp port) with the following post data: <?xml version="1....

Re: Film to watch, listen and understand

Thank you Danilo, you have expressed that quite well, rather to the point. I myself have sometimes been overwhelmed, [almost] to the point of exhaustion... Of course such a condition will limit what one can do. I could not watch the video using the link you provided - maybe it requires more powerful...

Re: Film to watch, listen and understand

... There is no place for the word: spiritual. ... That reads like you would even try and take it out of dictionaries, trying to force your dogmatic =religious world view upon the rest of the world. True science is ready to learn and discover new things as they can be found out. Any narrow minded d...

Re: Film to watch, listen and understand

@Psychophanta, I liked the video you posted. There is a concept of combining an unconditional basic income with a flowing money system similar to the one that was rather successful in Wörgl (Austria) in a time of economic crisis and other elements, I don't recall good enough at the moment. IIRC this...
