Hello.
Has anybody experienced problems with the LanGpib driver from Benjamin Franksen
(any version) returning the wrong ioc address? I have consulted Peter Mueller
(from Bessy) on this. It looks like a bug in the call to
"get_myaddress(&iocAddr)".

The driver returns only 128.171.0.0 when our actual address is 128.171.90.150
.. As a result it incorrectly thinks our gateway is 128.171.0.59,  which is
actually 128.171.90.59 .  Verbose details below...

Thanks for any help.
