c - Get Ip address function not working well -

i'm trying ip address of server, gets 127.0.1.1 instead of 127.0.0.1. error? how can real ip address, not localhost address.

#define maxhostname 256 #define debug       char * getipaddress()     {         char myname[ maxhostname + 1 ];         static char ipinascii[ maxhostname ];   /* oversized */         struct hostent * hp;          memset( myname, 0, maxhostname + 1 );   /* init */         memset( ipinascii, 0, maxhostname );          gethostname( myname, maxhostname );     #ifdef debug         printf( "hostname %s\n", myname );     #endif /* debug */          hp = gethostbyname( myname );         if( hp == null )         {             perror( "gethostbyname" );             return( "ip not found" );         }          inet_ntop( hp->h_addrtype, hp->h_addr_list[ 0 ], ipinascii,             maxhostname ) ;      #ifdef debug         printf( "canonical hostname %s @ ip %s\n", hp->h_name, ipinascii );     #endif /* debug */          return( ipinascii );     } 

user@user-desktop:~/desktop/my code$ ./ipprint hostname user-desktop canonical hostname user-desktop @ ip 127.0.1.1 127.0.1.1

that's /etc/hosts indicates. has like:

127.0.0.1       localhost 127.0.1.1       user-desktop
