Question

If I ping google.com, for example, I got:

Pinging google.com [173.194.38.130] with 32 bytes of d
Reply from 173.194.38.130: bytes=32 time=1033ms TTL=56

Reply from 173.194.38.130: bytes=32 time=518ms TTL=56

That means google.com points to 173.194.38.130

How to do so with vb.net?

Answer 1

Best option is to use Dns.GetHostEntry Method.

Dim hostNameOrAddress As String = "google.com"
Dim returnValue As IPHostEntry

returnValue = Dns.GetHostEntry(hostNameOrAddress)
