I wonder if there is a way to use a “ping” command like in dos. I know that
in dos batch files I can do the following at the command prompt:
ping cnn.com –n 1 > c:\result.txt
The “-n” part just means to ping it once.
Then I just parse the “result.txt” file for the IP address. If there is
nothing equivalent to that in EU then maybe make a batch file and have the
EU program execute it and parse the results.
Maybe I’m stupid and you should just ignore me.

Pinging cnn is useless since they protect themselves from denial of service
attacks but it still returns the ip address.

Subject: RE: DNS'ing an IP_Address
I'm writing this Chat server/client for my own benifit..
Don't mean to be selfish, but it's a learning curve..
Can't learn if I don't try..
If it's good enough, I'll prolly release it, if only for a demo of how
to use euLibnet..
I do like mIRC, and I DO use it, in fact I had learned a BIT of mIRC
script last year,even wrote some of my own..
Stopped learning it though, after I realized that there isn't much
market for it..
But I still want to code my own. Prolly will be modelled after mIRC
considering it's the best there is..

I'm hoping I'll be able to connect it to IRC servers, the user would
choose which one..

Will do, this is what I was asking for.. TY

I am by no means, trying to surpass or even remotely come close to
accomplishing what mirc does.. sure would be nice though! :)

That's what I meant.. :)
