[ENet-discuss] Finding host IP

[Lee Salzman]

The closest you can do at this point in time is a reverse lookup
with enet_address_get_host(), after using enet_address_set_host(...,
"127.0.0.1"). To get the interface IP you would need to 
check the IP list returned by gethostbyaddr(). I can add a function to
ENet to do this if you'd like.
