*** SOLVED *** very very simple sockets ( TCP Client ) question

[persianboy]

for connecting to another computer in a workgroup by name using sockets , which one should we use >>

1 )

TCPClient.Connect("\\ServerName",6000)

or

2 )

Dim ipAddress As IPAddress = Dns.Resolve("\\ServerName"").AddressList(0)
TCPClient.Connect(ipAddress,6000)



any help will be appreciated, thanks

[persianboy]

i think it should be the first one, the reason asking was is because its not connecting using the first way, so i want to make sure the connection has no problem, then search other things to find the bug, so which way is it?


thanks

[persianboy]

lets just put the question in this way >>
knowing the computer name in a workgroup, how can we find its ip address or host name ?


thanks

Your code is right the only thing about it is that you have the name as a Path and it should be just the computer name. So no "\\" before it.

Dim ip As Net.IPAddress = Net.Dns.Resolve("mhc_pdc").AddressList(0)
