Hi,

I'm using the boost library to create and manage a UDP socket.
I was wondering if there is a way to know the public address of my machine
using the boost classes.
With this code

udp::endpoint thisendpoint(udp::v4(), UDPPORT);
boost::asio::ip::address myaddress = thisendpoint.address();
std::cout<< "__My IP address: " << myaddress.to_string() << std::endl;

I can only print the any_address (0.0.0.0)...
thanks,
