Getting numeric ip address string

[Ken Sewell]

I've very new to CommonC++ so I apologize if this is addresses elsewhere ( 
if so I haven't been able to find it ).  I'm using the IPV4Address class 
and I'm setting the address, lets say to "127.0.0.1" for this example.  
How can I retrieve this?  The only call that seems to return a string is 
getHostname() which returns "localhost".  Is there a function to return 
the ip address in a string and give me back the original "127.0.0.1"?  
Thanks for any help.
