Stefan, The function MLName will return a pointer to the link name. This memory should be considered read-only (so don't deallocate it). The return value will be in the form "port@machine.name", so you can get the port from this string. Here is the prototype for MLName: char* MLName( MLINK lp); Kevin Leuthold MathLink Group Wolfram Research f94stbe@dd.chalmers.se (Stefan Berglund) writes: >I wish to have a process to communicate via mathlink peer to peer to a >remote computer.
