Is there a portable way to retrieve the local host subnet mask?

Hi all,

socket.gethostb yname_ex(socket .gethostname()) will return the list of IP
addresses on a the local host. I did not find any function that can be
used to get the subnet mask and default gateway.

Under Win32, the Win32 IP helper API provides a GetIpAddrTable( )
function that returns information that contain the subnet mask, but
that's Win32 level, and is not portable. Is there something available
in the Python library for that purpose?
Thanks

Pierre

Hi all. I'm nearing completion of a host app that needs to send data to, and receive data back from a portable, an HP device. The application running on the portable will be a .net application. Basically I need to know the best practice, or most reliable way of sending and receiving data on a serial connection. In VB6/EVB I used to use the RAPI commands for sending data, until the 2003

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

I have an issue where I have a remote IP Address, and I need to discover the local network interface IP Address which is viewable to the remote IP Address (for UPnP document purposes). For example, if I have the remote IP Address 10.0.0.4, and I know all of the local IP Addresses: 127.0.0.1 10.0.0.5 10.1.0.20 192.168.0.5 157.54.185.126

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
