Calculating subnet wiht netmask...

sam
Hi,

This is a C programming specific with TCP/IP relation.
Supposed I have two string (char *) variables with the following assignment:
ip_str = "10.1.2.3"
netmask_str = "255.255.0. 0"

How can I use C programming technique to get the subnet 10.1.0.0?

I tried to use "struct in_addr", but not sure how to start writing a
simple code for it?

Is there any simple C code that I can follow in this regard?

Thanks
Sam

This is a C++ newsgroup, and TCP/IP is off-topic.

However, if you have 2 strings, where one is an encoded number
and the other is an encoded mask, you need to

(a) convert the number into an unsigned long
(b) convert the mask into an unsigned long
(c) perform bitwise AND on them
(d) convert the result back into a string

Use 'sscanf' to convert numbers from a string, and 'sprintf' to
convert back.

Before I go and reinvent the wheel, does anyone already have python code that can do netmask arithmetic - for example, determining if a list of hostnames are on subnets described by a list of networks+netmasks like: 128.200.34.0/24 128.195.16.128/25 ....and so on? Thanks!

Hmm, this doesn't seem to work. I am probably tackling it completely the wrong way, but basically I want a function to receive two IP's and a subnet mask and return True if IP1 and 2 are on the same subnet, otherwise false. I have got this so far: Private Function IsSameSubnet(ByVal IPSource As String, ByVal IPDest As String, ByVal IPSubnet As String) As Boolean

Is there an "elegant" way to determine if an IP address is on my subnet? Or do I just compare the first 2 or 3 octets?

I want to check an IP address against a given network/netmask, but I am not sure how to do this. For example: ip=192.168.1.5 nw/nm=192.168.1.0/24 = match ip=192.168.1.5 nw/nm=192.168.2.0/24 = no match ip=192.168.1.5 nw/nm=192.168.0.0/16 = match ip=10.120.12.5 nw/nm=192.168.2.0/24 = no match ip=10.120.12.5 nw/nm=10.120.12.5/32 = match

Hi! I try to get the subnet location info using the code below found at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.directoryservices.activedirectory.activedirectorysubnet.location.aspx.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
