Working DNS Query?

[Guest]

Does anyone know of a working DNS query example for PBCC?
I have tried to compile, rework, modify every example posted to no avail.
Anyone have a working example that will compile under PBCC3.0?

If you mean resolving IP addresses to hostnames and viceversa, then HOST NAME and HOST ADDR are the PB functions to use.

#COMPILE EXE
 
FUNCTION PBMAIN() AS LONG
 
'// Resolve a hostname to its IP address
DIM p AS BYTE PTR
HOST ADDR "www.powerbasic.com" TO ip&
p = VARPTR(ip&)
STDOUT USING$("#_.#_.#_.#", @p, @p[1], @p[2], @p[3])
 
'// Resolve that IP address back to its hostname
HOST NAME ip& TO hostname$
STDOUT hostname$
 
WAITKEY$
END FUNCTION

Thanks for the reply

What I am looking for through is a way to query a DNS server for a specific record. (IE MX, A name etc)
The MX record is most important to me but I also am interested in most other records as well.

If you just do a Topic search for "MX" you'll find several examples, including..
