Solution 1

you can edit the hosts file in this path: c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
by adding "209.58.231.104 www.google.com"
but this only works for the local network (LAN)

You could try something like this;

VB

Dim entry As IPHostEntry = Dns.GetHostEntry("209.85.231.104")
Dim hostName As String = entry.HostName

Hope this helps,
Fredrik
