[Csci551-talk] IP address

[Michael Stephens]

When I use 127.0.0.1 as the IP address for making a connection from
the tracker to the manager, it seems to work fine.  However, when I
try to change my call to "connect" in the tracker to use the IP
address returned by getsockname in the manager, it does not seem to
work.  This IP address is something like 0.2.132.173.  I have not been
able to figure out why this does not work.  (I had assumed that for
our project we are allowed to ignore IP addresses and just use
127.0.0.1, however yesterday I read a post from Rashmi dated March 23
stating that we need to store the IP addresses of each of the
clients.)
