Re: GetIpAddrTable

I think that the order which you see in memory and the order which I see in memory are the same. I think that order is network order not host order.

Load the DWORD from memory into a register and you get 0x681010ac. Before doing any further processing in the host you have to call ntohl.

Hi,Norman!

dwAddr and dwMask sit exactly in host order and not net and here example :
My IP in lan is 172.16.16.104 what I see after return from the function
those are bytes ( in memory ) : ac 10 10 68 hex ( which is 172 16 16 104 decimal) , so ac sit in lowest byte and 68 in highest ( due to Intel's ( host ) byte order ( little endian ) ) of dword and network order demand 172 (ac hex ) to be in highest byte et al accordingly

As far as I can tell, dwAddr and dwMask are returned as numerical values in
network byte order, not host byte order. I have to call ntohl to convert
them.

The page doesn't say anything about the byte order of dwBCastAddr, but that
doesn't matter. As far as I can tell, dwBCastAddr isn't a broadcast address in any byte order or bit order.

Does anyone find more sensible information in these fields?
