I would like to ping one vmware guest from another one. Both are Windows XP and use NAT. I set IP manually for VMnet8 to 192.168.18.1. (no using Obtain IP address automatically). Also I'm not able to ping neither guest1 nor guest2 from host. I'm using VMWare Player 5. Host machine (Windows 7): Ethernet adapter VMware Network Adapter VMnet8: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::dc81:34e2:779d:595d%19 IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.18.1 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : Guest 1: Connection

I m able to retrieved active TCP and UDP connection using iphlpapi. The TCP Connection showing with source info(ip/port), Destination info(ip/port), state and process id. But for UDP Connection its no giving remote IP and port. That what i want to get. Any way to get destination information using source information or process id in Delphi or c++. UDP is a connectionless protocol. You can only get the local port that has been opened. UPDATE: This applies for a static look at the port usage. However, if you have active UDP trafic you can still retrieve the remote endpoint. User Ishmeet suggested

I have an application that I wish to use over windows. I am using AF_UNIX family un windows. I wish to know that AF_UNIX family is available in windows. If not then is there any alternate to AF_UNIX ? Thanks Arpit Just use TCP sockets, they behave very much like UNIX sockets. Or you can use named pipes and use WaitForMultipleObjects() instead of select() or poll() . Windows named pipes are not quite like named pipes in UNIX. Windows named pipes are bi-directional and thus more like AF_UNIX sockets than named pipes in UNIX. Update: Windows 10 now finally supports this ever since the Windows 10
