How getnamebyaddr work?Hi Experts:
Can anyone tell me how getnamebyaddr work? Does it try to resolve name by contacting local DNS service first (looking at the local /Windows/System/drivers/etc/hosts file)? If failed, it will try to contact remote DNS server? Thanks in Advance! Polaris sorry, I meant "gethostbyaddr"
