Re: [gnet] how to get *server* ip address?

[David Helder <dhelder umich edu>]

0.0.0.0 means all interfaces, so it could be using more than one address.

gnet_inetaddr_list_interfaces() will get you an actual list of interfaces.
gnet_inetaddr_get_internet_interface() will use heuristics to get an
interface that GNet thinks is connected to the internet.  This is what I
use in Jungle Monkey to autodetect the address.
