  Does this use DNS?  Or does it ask the host for it's name?  Is there the possiblity of NOT using DNS?

  Thanks for the code...but I got error 5...Orz please help..

  from here:

            IPToText = CStr(Asc(IPAddress)) & "." & _
                CStr(Asc(Mid$(IPAddress, 2, 1))) & "." & _
                CStr(Asc(Mid$(IPAddress, 3, 1))) & "." & _
                CStr(Asc(Mid$(IPAddress, 4, 1)))
  
  
  

  in function iptotext

   

  it works out fine without the codes after the first line, is it because of mid function? Anyway, please just teach me how.... I'm a newbie to vb

  Awesome code!  I have looked everywhere for something exactly like this and everything I found was either ridiculously complex or didn't work.  This worked brilliantly for me.  Thank you

  Use ping -a 111.xx.xxx to get the hostname from an ip address. It's the reverse of nslookup which works on dns name to give ip address.
