Re: System.Net.Dns????

ok, now what about passing an ip address?
MsgBox(GetHostEntry(Me.txtLookupHostIP.Text).HostName)

me.txtLookupHostIP.text = 192.168.1.1 This address is assigned from a dhcp
server on the local network....

and is listed in the dns.. and I get "No such host is known"

I am just trying to pass an IP address and get the Host name... either
from
the internet or local network.. or pass the host name and get the ip..

Using VB 2005, i can get hostname simply by using:
System.Net.Dns.GetHostName.ToString

And getting IP address by passing hostname can be done using:
'-----------------------------------
Imports System.Net.Dns
Imports System.Net

Dim hostname As String
hostname = GetHostName.ToString
For Each ip As IPAddress In _
GetHostEntry(hostname).AddressList
' Return IP address in messagebox
MsgBox(ip.ToString)
Next
'------------------------------

Hope this helps,
