IWMSIPEntry::put_Address

The put_Address method specifies an IP address or range of IP addresses that can be used to allow or disallow client connections.

HRESULT put_Address(
  BSTR  value
);

Arguments

value

[in] BSTR containing the IP address in either IPv4 decimal notation, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, or IPv6 hexadecimal notation, xxxx:xxxx::x.

Return Value

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Return code	Number	Description
E_FAIL	0x80004005	The server cannot find an IP address entry list.
E_INVALIDARG	0x80070057	The value parameter is NULL.
E_OUTOFMEMORY	0x8007000E	The server could not allocate memory to store the address.

Remarks

A range of addresses can be specified by setting an IP mask. For more information about using masks, see the IWMSIPEntry::put_Mask method.
