I haven't been able to get the hostname no matter how hard I try. If I use Dns.GetHostEntry(ipAddress).Hostname I just get the ip address and I get the same results when using the depreciated function gethostbyaddress. please help.

CODE Dim hostIp As IPHostEntry = Dns.GetHostEntry("207.46.193.254") MessageBox.Show(hostIp.HostName) You could also pass in the site address rather than the IP address. CODE Dim hostIp As IPHostEntry = Dns.GetHostEntry("www.microsoft.com") MessageBox.Show(hostIp.HostName)

I found out what I'm looking for is to find the netBIOS name of a remote computer I have been searching all over with google, yahoo etc but I have only found out how to do this for the local machine.
