I trid the nbtstat -A 218.246.127.68, it really return NETBIOS name. Yes,in windows platform,"gethostbyaddr" is adapted to NETBIOS. And microsoft advise to use "getnameinfo" instead of "gethostbyaddr". please see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winsock/win sock/gethostbyaddr_2.asp But I can't find "getnameinfo" in <winsock2.h> at all with vc6.0.I don't know why.
