Don't use gcc or - not recommended - use a gcc which builds o32 objects.
Current gcc and IRIX cc have a minor difference when it comes to passing
small structs as function arguments, which result in inet_ntoa() always
return "255.255.255.255" (or sometimes "0.0.0.0") when the source was
compiled with gcc.
Use IRIX cc instead, or check the latest egcs, maybe the problem has
been resolved by now. The last time I checked, the problem was known,
but a solution was said to require major changes in the code generation
process.

I've also sent this as a mail, but would you please not forget that this
is a public newsgroup, not a private helpdesk? Others may be interested
in the answer as well, and it's also considered impolite to publically
ask for a question, let someone do the "dirty work" for you (especially
as this very question could've been easily solved by consulting Deja
News, maybe even some FAQ) and then even expect to be served the answer.
Ciao
Thomas
