I'm trying out the DNS features and seeing the following. Dns.GetHostEntry("www.microsoft.com") works fine and seems to return the right address. Dns.GetHostEntry("mymachine") and Dns.GetHostEntry("myfullmcahine.company.blah.blah") returns the wrong IP address. I'll keep trying... Stacy

Hi Stacy, Interesting. In desktop .NET, does Dns.GetHostEntry("mymachine") resolve the IP address of local machines against a DNS server--or does it discover the local machines in another way? Chris

Good question. I'll take a look to see what the code is doing on the desktop. I'm on Amtrak right now and tethered to my phone, so it'll be a while. Maybe I'll shoot an email to one of our networking guys.
