Getting some network information using TDI

NTDEV
1

Hi,

Is it possible to get information similar to that provided by following
SOCKET functions using TDI calls.

  1. Gethostname()
  2. Gethostbyname()

Basically, is there a way to do DNS resolution using TDI

Thanks,
-atul

You will need to write the full DNS client (implementing all transactions over UDP) in kernel mode.

gethostbyname() is provided not by TCPIP.SYS, it is provided by user-mode WinSock - namely WSHTCPIP.DLL. It is not a part of IP
stack, and TDI allows you to work with the IP stack only.
