Unable to display IP addresses correctly..!!

0

I have created a dissector for cluster heartbeat messages. Everything works okay except the IP addresses. An IP of 10.102.1.71 is displayed by the dissector as 71.1.102.10.

How correct this? Do i need to apply host to network transformation or the other way around??

And most importantly, how to apply that transformation??

What is the exact code you're using to fetch the IP address and put it into the protocol tree?

You're not supposed to apply any byte-order transformation to IP addresses.

Set the final parameter of proto_tree_add_item() for adding the IP addresses to ENC_LITTLE_ENDIAN (or TRUE if you're working with trunk-1.4 based code).
