Getting name from Domain Name Server in VB?

I am building an application, and I would like to give the option of selecting
and IP address that is in a list and have the program return the actual host
name. I know that I just need to contact the local Domain Name Server, the
only problem is that I don't have the first clue as to how to do this.

I think I have read about a WinSock.bas or something like that, which inlcudes
some calls that can be made to do network type things, such as a DNS query. I
would be extremely appreciative if someone might be able to give me some
assistance, or point me in the right direction. Thanks...

Look in your local bookstore for a book from QUE called
"Building Internet Applications with Visual Basic" its a rather
excellent book with numerous programs and code on an attached
CD that comes with it.
