        Does anyone know how to get the IP address of a PC using either pascal
        or c.

This question can be interpreted in two ways:  If you're using someone else's
TCP/IP protocol stack (commercial or freeware), there is probably an API call
that will tell you (in PC/TCP it is named get_addr()).  See the programmer's
manual for our package.  If you're writing your own, and want to find out what
IP address your PC should use, use the BOOTP protocol (RFC 951).
