how to get the PC-Name from connected PC's

Hi @all,

I ping the whole network (192.168.2.1 - 192.168.2.254) and return all IP-Adresses who returns the Ping-Request.

The result is a list with the IP-Adress, but not with the PC-Name

How can I get the Name of the other PC's from my Network

thanks for your fast help
Nikolai

    Hi Nikolai,

    The System.Net.Dns class's GetHostByAddress method will help you there.

    OK, after the successful inplementation I learned that the System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry method is better to use than the GetHostByAddress method.
