To find out what IP and port NetSprocket is listening to, you can use  
the ProtocolGetConfigString() call, which will return a string with the  
config used by a particular endpoint. You can then look for IPaddr= and  
IPport= in the string returned.

To find out what IP (and I think port as well) a player is connected  
to, use NSpPlayer_GetIPAddress() or ProtocolGetEndpointAddress(). I'm  
pretty sure this returns the local address and port in some kind of  
structure. Sorry I can't be of more help here, I've never used these  
calls.

To find out what IP a player is connected from, (ie, the ip of the  
remote machine, use ProtocolGetEndpointIdentifier(), which will return  
the remote IP address or the remote apple talk node as a string.

Keep in mind that any local IP address might just show up as 127.0.0.1  
(ie: loopback) rather than as your machine's IP address, and what's  
more even if it does give the machines IP address that's not  
necessarily the address someone on the internet should use to contact  
you, since you might be behind a NAT. The only way to reliably get your  
own externally visible IP address is to connect to someone and have  
them tell you what they see as your remote IP address.

Hope this helps,
Ed
