vb6 winsock control RemoteHostIP truncates the last digit from IP address

Question

Hi i am writing a socket client/server application in VB6. i have the following code

Private Sub sockMain_ConnectionRequest(ByVal requestID As Long)
    If sockMain.State <> sckClosed Then
        sockMain.Close
    End If
    sockMain.Accept requestID    
    Debug.Print "Accepted connection from: " & sockMain.RemoteHostIP & vbCrLf
End Sub

its printing the IP but the last digit is missing example, if my connection is from "192.168.1.123" then it shows "192.168.1.12" only

Answer 1

I've tried the exact same code and it works on my machine. I tried using telnet from the same machine, and also from a laptop and the correct IP address was printed in both cases.

I have to agree with ckv and say that its the way you are printing RemoteHostIP.
