Hey guys.

Could anyone tell me how to ping an IP address and interact with the results directly?

Also, how do I negotiate an IP address of just numbers to the text address (a.k.a. 143.35.125.82 -> [email protected] )?

How could I finger a user directly from VB?

And finally, is it possible to look up a user's public NetBIOS service names in VB? I've seen programs that do this.

If you could answer any of these questions, I'd be greatly appreciative. Thanks in advance.
