Have you tried connecting to your REAL IP?
Cos the easy way to get around this would be to check if the user enters
127.0.0.1 or LOCALHOST and then get the real ip with TCPGetOwnHostID()
or whatever its called :)... Provided it works with your IP?
I`ll probably update it soon with the accept, bind, etc highlevel commands
soon.
Maybe. :)
How many of you are using this library?
