Resolve a Hostname to an IP Address

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.DnsLookup, which resolves a hostname and returns one numeric IP address.

integer li_rc
oleobject loo_Socket
string ls_IpAddress

loo_Socket = create oleobject
li_rc = loo_Socket.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Socket")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Socket
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if

//  Resolve a hostname to a numeric IP address, waiting up to 5 seconds.
ls_IpAddress = loo_Socket.DnsLookup("example.com",5000)
if loo_Socket.LastMethodSuccess = 0 then
    Write-Debug loo_Socket.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Socket
    return
end if

Write-Debug "Resolved IP address: " + ls_IpAddress


destroy loo_Socket
