RE: [Bulk] QDCRDEVD API Not Working as Advertised (or is it just me?)

["Jerry C. Adams" <midrange@xxxxxxxx>]

Nope, Mark, same results.

However, I was finally able to get with one of the guys who developed our
POS.  When they ran the program at the stores, it returned the correct
(static) IP address.  After much musing and scratching of heads, we figured
that the address that I got locally was the router here.  The PCs in the
office are configured to obtain an address automagically.  But why it is
returning the router's address rather than 192.168.1.110, which is what I
see when I run ipconfig, is beyond me.

But it does work, as I said, when run from the retail stores' PCs.

Hi, Jerry:

It's not just you; I just downloaded that example, compiled it, and it 
does not work as expected for me, either. *:-o*

Not sure what's wrong with that example ...

So, I just posted a version that works ... here:

HTH,

Mark
