VB6 reverse DNS
Looking up an IP from a hostname is fairly easy in Visual Basic but resolving IP addresses to hostnames isn’t. However, IN PTR DNS records can be retrieved using the Winsock APIs quite easily.
The example contains a simple project that simply shows how to call the function and how to handle errors.
Note: This code is for Visual Basic 6, not the more recent .NET versions
