IP address for the Host name

Hi,

I'm new to this forum.I'm having trouble with gethostbyname API.Basically i'm trying to get IP address for the Host name through DNS lookup.Specified DNS server address through CFGTCP option '12'.Also i'm not using host table entries.I'm able to get Host name for the IP address by gethostbyaddr API.I wonder why this code was not working for me.I'm using following code to get IP address for the Host name.I appreciate your help.Please advise me.

Rambabu Kalidindi.
