well winsock.localhost doesnt exist, its Winsock.LocalHostName - and that will give your computer name. Which is not what want. To get the computer name/host name you should use

Text1.Text = Winsock1.RemoteHost

I think this gives the hostname, if not then you need to send a request for the hostname and you should program it the remote host client/server to send back Winsock.LocalHostName so that will send the hostname.
