Ok, thanks, but that doesn't give the port, which wouldn't
distinguish between possibly many connections from the same
machine.

I've done the following and it works for what I need but,
I'm a little surprised the information is not incorporated
somehow into NetConnection. Oh well:

From the example TestNetInterface::handleInfoPacket(...),
(with couts added) in the client part ('this' end):

  cout << "ADDRESSES:" << endl;
  TNL::Vector<TNL::Address> addresses;
  TNL::Socket::getInterfaceAddresses(&addresses);
  for (int i = 0; i < addresses.size(); ++i) {
    cout << "address: " << addresses[i].toString() << endl;
  }
  TNL::Address b = getFirstBoundInterfaceAddress();
  cout << "FIRST BOUND: " << b.toString() << endl;

output:
  ADDRESSES:
  address: IP:192.168.0.8:0
  FIRST BOUND: IP:192.168.0.8:33513


From the function, in the server part upon connection
(remote end):
  cout << "CLIENT ADDRESS: " << address.toString() << endl;

output:
  CLIENT ADDRESS: IP:192.168.0.8:33513


Of course, this probably wouldn't work if there were more
than one connection to the server (which connection would
be the first?) but it works for what I need.

Thanks again,

Jeff
