[2005] Find names on devices in a network

Hi,

I'm currently working on an application that first pings and then, if something "pings back", checks the ip-address using the GetHostEntry statement. If a device is connected at ex. IP 192.168.1.50, it pops up on a list.

But I was wondering... Is it possible to get the name of that device? GetHostEntry only gives me the IP-address (unless its a computer, then the computer name pops up) if it find a router, modem, a mobile device etc...

For example: I have a dreambox connected on my network. Is there a way to get the name of the dreambox when i know its ip??? Or my Nokia? Or my wireless printer???

I'm uploading a picture of the application so you might better understand what i mean.

PS: The text in the application is in Norwegian...

When you call Dns.GetHostEntry function, it returns an IPHostEntry object from which you can read the HostName property.
