I would like to get IP adress from WINS (not from broadcast or LMHOSTS file) for given NetBIOS name using Windows netbios API (functions) - however - I can't understand what I should specifu into NBC structure - should I make socket connection to WINS server and issue NCBFIND or should I use SEND/RECEIVE to communicate directly with WINS - if later is teh case - then what chunk of data should I send and what data can I expect to receive> Should I read all those RFC's or dive into nbdc code? Thanks for suggestions in advance! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
