I'm using sockets to do some ftp. One thing I noticed is it will not connect when you use a full name address (eg. ftp.acucorp.com), it needs an IP address (eg. 12.147.6.122).

Anyhow does anyone have a simple way to get the IP address from the full name address using the windows api, or any other method?

    Would this: http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/show/1628/ do the trick?
