How is the send going to mess up the server if it already shutdown the socket which caused the whole thing to start with? :confused: led mike

Hi James, IMHO, you can use the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI[^]) to work with DNS. There are many classes defined in the System.Management Namespace[^] that you might want to check out and see how they can help.

Go to the COM and/or ATL section of code project. There are plenty of tutorials there. I've not done a wrapper for this explicit reason, but I've wrapped other DLLs before and its no big problem. The simplest way is to use the ATL Appwizard assuming you're using VC++. Kev

Did you registered the DLL?
