Thanks to Chris and Ben. Your suggestions were slightly
different but both worked equally well, although I don't
understand how that can be so.

I was looking for a reliable way to determine the IP addy
for a given network adapter. That is what the code does
but I don't understand how it does it either.
Thanks again. I will continue to research and study the
code in the hope I will understand it.
