TCPStartup() / _TCPIpToName

[NeilApp]

Hi guys, I've run into a snag with the program I'm making.

When I use _TCPIpToName it only seems to work once, then i have to restart my computer before it can work again, I've managed to find a temporary solution and that is running VNC and connecting it to another computer between each use of _TCPIpToName but that Isn't really ideal for 100+ computers.

I suspect it might be TCPShutdown() not working properly, but i am using it.

Any ideas?

Welcome to the forums.

I just ran it against a dozen systems and it works fine for me.

Post your code and we'll see what's wrong.

Hi, thanks.

func hostname($ip, $selectedip)
    $hostname=""
    WinWaitClose("Hostname")
    TCPStartup()
    $hostname = _TCPIpToName($ip[1] & "." & $ip[2] & "." & $ip[3]  & "." & $selectedip,0)
    TCPShutdown()
    MsgBox(0,"Hostname",$hostname)
EndFunc

The function is run from clicking a button on the GUI, $ip and $selectedip have the correct values so i don't think it could be them.

Edit: If you need the rest i can add it but its pretty long code.
