Dns.GetHostByAddress

[RZ]

Hi Folks,

I wrote an app to scan our Packet Filter logs for certain IPs. It uses
GetHostByAddress().
I used multi-threading to get around the 2 second hang. The remaining
problem is that
GetHostByAddress() also attempts to resolve the machine name via NetBIOS.
After
running the application, the blocked packets to port 137 from our own IP are
added
to the logs. How can I avoid this?

BTW, a free copy is here:

Try to disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP in the WINS settings for the interface(s)
to see if that helps.

It was already disabled. I used threading and kill the process after a
short delay.

Interesting approach. Was it disabled on all interfaces?
