mmm greetings there ... 
: 
: im using borland 5.01 and i am trying to interconnect 2 computers with eachother over the internet. 
: i have to do it with windows (not linux), and it must be DOS (standard -> 16 bit). 
: 
: i am trying to control devices over the internet by means of a simple client server type application but... 
: 
: 
: 
: 
: well, I have only 2 obstacles in my way so far... 
: 
: 1-do you know what functions exist for me to connect to a pc, knowing its IP address? 
: 
: 2-do you know what functions exist for me to obtain a pc's IP address, knowing its name? 
: 
: oh, and to use these functions, what libraries/classes must be included and where can i get them? 
:

: Thanks and sorry to bother
