ICMP_ECHO_REPLY32 and IP_OPTION_INFORMATION32

Question

In one of my vb6 code i am using IP_OPTION_INFORMATION and ICMP_ECHO_REPLY which i have declared as

Private Type IP_OPTION_INFORMATION
   Ttl             As Byte
   Tos             As Byte
   Flags           As Byte
   OptionsSize     As Byte
   OptionsData     As Long
End Type

and

Public Type icmp_echo_reply
   address         As Long
   Status          As Long
   RoundTripTime   As Long
   DataSize        As Long
   Reserved        As Integer
   ptrData                 As Long
   Options        As IP_OPTION_INFORMATION
   Data            As String * 25
End Type

Now i want to use IP_OPTION_INFORMATION32 and ICMP_ECHO_REPLY32 But it has little difference than previous one.So how to declare it in same way?Please help.

Since VB6 can only run as a 32 bit process I don't think you need to worry about the differing versions of this structure. I think it has more to do with pointer sizes on a 64 bit OS.
