Have not seen the original posted. When we try to login/connect to our AppServer (a Win98 PC), it results in a DNS lookup on our dial-up router, which dials up our ISP, incurring call charges (this is the UK) and takes ages before the server responds. Also we have to pay for each connect and time connected. The only way to get round this is to disable DNS in TCP/IP Properties and reboot the server PC. We are using a TSocketConnection and Borland Socket Server is running on the server PC. Delphi 6, sp2. Is there any way round this. -- Regards Roger Graham Designkey Ltd Back to top tcpip Guest Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2003 1:10 pm    Post subject: Re: Socket connection causes DNS lookup That may be a well known bug in Windows 9.x systems. Check Winsock FAQ: http://tangentsoft.net/wskfaq/intermediate.html#dunbug If your box has latest DUN and no gethostbyname call - switch to W2K or XP. Regards.
