Wrong result at Network.LookupDNSAddress

Getting Started
1

The method ‘Network.LookupDNSAddress’ returns an incorrect result with me.

dim s as string
s=System.network.LookupDNSAddress("178.73.17.204")
MsgBox s

I always get back the IP address instead of the DNS name. But DNS works fine on my machines.

Can anyone confirm this?

Does that IP address actually point to anything in real life?

Edit: I’ve just checked it, and it points to a residential address. In that case you won’t get a fully qualified domain name back.

@Greg.
My code is just an example. All my attempts generally return only the Ip address.
For example:
91.198.174.192 returns 91.198.174.192 but should be ‘www.wikipedia.org’

As just a data point, it works fine here under Windows.

On OS X 10.10.2 all I get back is the same IP address no matter which one I tried.

Same here, Xojo 2015r1, OS X 10.10.2, multiple IP addresses tried, only get IP address instead of reverse lookup.
