    Re: How to get the remote computer name from IP address & How to get the remote syste

    you can just put those lines in a sub on a form, e.g.:
    VB Code:
    1. Private Sub Form_Load()
    2.     Dim obj As clsIPRESOLVE    'or your class name that you used
    3.     Set obj = New clsIPRESOLVE    'or your class name that you used
    4.     'To get the remote computer name from IP address
    5.     Debug.Print obj.AddressToName("192.168.0.1")
    6.     ' Release the memory
    7.     Set obj = Nothing
    8. End Sub

    This code in post #1 originates from here

    Re: How to get the remote computer name from IP address & How to get the remote syste

    'Return Hostname from IP
    sName = System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry("192.168.1.1").HostName

    'Return IP collection from hostname
    aIP = System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry("ComputerName").AddressList

    for each oIP in aIP
    'step thru the ips checking the class to find the one you were looking for.
    next
