How to connect tcp socket to current wlan ip address on run time??
-
Hello,
Since, the wlan ip adreess keeps changing based on network connected.
Is there a way in QT where I can dynamically read current internet connected ip address and connect my tcp socket to same.So on server side, I have server->listen(QHostAddress::Any, port) and on client side clientSocket->connectToHost(192.168.xxx, port).
Is there anyway I can connect client socket getting current ip address and don't have to hard code it. -

That's one of the reasons DNS was invented.
So set up your (WLAN) router to assign names to your devices [1] and then
connectToHost("yourname", port)

[1] most often the computers name is automatically assigned
