Thats true, GetHostEntry() should have IPAddress.Parse() built-in ;D So if GetHostEntry() fails IPAddress.Parse() should fail too. (But when you search at http://forums.microsoft.com it seems that GetHostEntry() does not always work as expected) I also think that there is some network misconfiguration in the network in the company i am working. Seems to have something to do with the damn windows-hostnames. What i do not understand: If i give GetHostEntry() an IP-Address, what the heck is this function doing for up to 30 seconds ? Does it first think the ip-address is a hostname ? Thats why i recommended to change the order... IPAddress.Parse() just checks if the string looks like an IP-Address and if it does it converts it to an "IPAddress", if it does not it throws an exception. So if IPAddress.Parse() sees an IP-Address i do not have to deal with the damn (in my office very slow) windows-hostname resolving ;D If IPAddress.Parse() fails then GetHostEntry() can try its luck. In my tests IPAddress.Parse() parses the string very fast and the function call is not noticeable if you let it parse a hostname. -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
