Dns.GetHostByAd dress

RZ
Hi Folks,

I wrote an app to scan our Packet Filter logs for certain IPs. It uses
GetHostByAddres s().
I used multi-threading to get around the 2 second hang. The remaining
problem is that
GetHostByAddres s() also attempts to resolve the machine name via NetBIOS.
After
running the application, the blocked packets to port 137 from our own IP are
added
to the logs. How can I avoid this?

BTW, a free copy is here:

Try to disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP in the WINS settings for the interface(s)
to see if that helps.

It was already disabled. I used threading and kill the process after a
short delay.

Interesting approach. Was it disabled on all interfaces?

When I make the following call: IPHostEntry hostInfo = Dns.GetHostByAddress( hostIPAddress ) ; If the PTR (i.e. the IP address to name resolution) does not exist my program will start making Netbios calls (Name query to the remote host). The netbios lookup is very undesired. Is there a way to not perform the netbios query if the PTR record does not exist?

I have a class for logging information about user activity on a web site, but it suddenly became really slow. I was wondering what factors may have caused the slow down. Initially, I used the following code: ul.HostName = context.Request.UserHostName; Since the UserHostName is not always resolved, I opted for the following more effective code: IPAddress hostIPAddress = IPAddress.Parse(context.Request.UserHostAddress);

I have an application that does a reverse lookup using System.net.dns.gethostbyaddress, however I am encountering some problems. If the application resolves the address of another machine it works fine, but when resolving its own address, I get incorrect results. SERVERA has 2 IP addresses (IPA1, IPA2). Each IP address has one DNS entry (HOSTA1, HOSTA2) SERVERB has 2 IP addresses (IPB1, IPB2). Each IP address has one DNS entry...

I don't suppose anyone will be able to help with this, it's most odd. I use IPHostEntry hostInfo = GetHostByAddress(ipAddress) to resolve an IP address to a name (in this case it is actually the local computer, if that's relevant). The call is made on several occasions as the program runs, the first two times it works fine, then, for no reason, instead of the name it returns the IP address in hostInfo.HostName. This program has been...
