Getting ip address from user name in VB.net

Question

I am working on a windows service. I need to transfer files over network using TCP/IP. Now the problem is I have only network username to connect. Is there any way I can find the ip address of a user using its network username.

Answer 1

string name = "somename";
IPAddress[] addresslist = Dns.GetHostAddresses(name);

foreach (IPAddress theaddress in addresslist)
{
   Console.WriteLine(theaddress.ToString());
}
