Re: DNS server temporary change

I would use getaddrinfo() to fill a addrinfo structure or use
gethostname() to fill a hostent structure. If the name you specified
exists both structures will contain the IP-Address in network byte-order
which can be converted to an ascii string by the use of the inet_ntoa()
function. 

All these functions are well documented in the Platform SDK -> Windows
Sockets. 

Of course, you have to link against the WinSock Library and IIRC you
have to initialize the library as well. 

hoping to have helped,
