Question is really simple. I need a tool to convert <code>char*</code> to ip adress and use it in <pre class="prettyprint"><code>sockaddr_in.s_addr </code></pre> arpa/inet.h has <code>inet_addr()</code> function, but I am not sure if I already have this file somewhere in MS VS 2010 installation or should I get it elsewhere.

Win32 provides its own implementation of the sockets API (Winsock) which uses slightly different headers. From the MSDN for <code>inet_addr</code>: <blockquote> Header Winsock2.h </blockquote>

<code>arpa/inet.h</code> is the include used on Unix-like systems. On Windows, you must use <code>winsock2.h</code>. Example from the MSDN.

Where do I get arpa/inet.h?

arpa/inet.h has inet_addr() function, but I am not sure if I already have this file somewhere in MS VS 2010 installation or should I get it elsewhere.
