Hi Li Pang,

Will you try this and message us if it works, I am in doubt, because I
thought that Ken did distribute this, but he did not send it to you.

Dim hostInfo As System.Net.IPHostEntry
hostInfo = System.Net.Dns.GetHostByAddress("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx") ' a fixed
server IP
MessageBox.Show(hostInfo.HostName)

Hi Li Pang,

If you than test the name of the server it should go is my thought than or
does it give the name anyway from the registry or someting?.

Hi Herfried K. Wagner

Is PingHost method is available in VB
The pinghost function is similar to Cor's VB codes, and I can't figure out how to manage if the server is not available

You will have to translate the C# code to VB.NET, for example by using
these converters:

-> "Octopus"

C# -> VB .NET Converters:

Hi Herfried,

Now I remember me again how I got this code, I translated it.

That was what Li said.

I have dumped it now from my HKW system.
