IP address to host-name

[Waseem Sadiq]

Hi, I'm developing a application that takes a host-name and converts that address to IP-address. Does anybody know how I can do this. Thanks.

If you know name of PC then you must modify GetIPHostName() function from
http://www.vbsquare.com/howto/getip.htm

Public Function GetIPHostName(sHostName$) As String

If Not SocketsInitialize() Then
GetIPHostName = ""
Exit Function
End If

GetIPHostName = Left$(sHostName, InStr(sHostName, Chr(0)) - 1)
SocketsCleanup

End Function

And call:

MsgBox "IP is " & GetIPHostName(Name_your_other_PC)
