Hi,

I want to resolve the IP address from Hostname. I was previosuly using:

Dns.GetHostByAddress(Hostname);

Which is obsolete, So I tried:

C#

Dns.GetHostEntry(Hostname);

Which couldn't resolve the IP Address. I am using Windows7 (32-bit)

Please Help..
Thanks in advance..

The first thing to try in such a situation is: can you get the the IP address from the hostname using other tools? The simplest thing is executing a ping.
Likely, your DNS is not configured correctly.

Yes, It is pinging perfectly.
Also Ipconfig on this machine showing IP address correctly, the same I am getting from the command:GetHostByAddress
