I provide a GUI to let the user browse the network and choose a machine, it returns the machine name. Then I have to cast the machine name to ip address. gethostbyname needs a DNS name, not a machine name.

Did you actually try it yet, or are you just basing your statements on documentation? gethostbyname() can return info for a computer name that is on the same network. That is a "feature" of Microsoft's socket implementation (aka WinSock).
