Domain Resolution :: Winsock
Hi.
I have a questions about resolving an IP into its domain name and vice versa. For example,
IP: 66.218.71.84
Domain: w5.scd.yahoo.com
I am familiar with a solution for the example above. However, there are some IP that I cannot get the domain names. For example and this is something I am making up.
IP: 28.116.90.40
Domain: CORENT_WIN2k
When I try to resolve 28.116.90.40 using the solution I currently use, the winsock API function returns 28.116.90.40 instead of CORENT_WIN2k. The only program I know that returns the corrent domain name is mIRC (a chat program).
I use getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo(). Again, the solution works well except for some weird IP addresses similar to the one I made up.
I would like to know is there a parameter somewhere for getaddrinfo() and/or getnameinfo() that will solve the solution example? Or maybe is there another technique?
Thanks,
Kuphryn
Try gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr()
Darkhaven Beta-test stage coming soon.
