Indy ping -a (resolves addresses to host name)

I'm using Indy8006b (with Delphi 5 on NT workstation SP6) and would
like to using Ping like the ping in
Windows NT

ie ping -a xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (resolves addresses to host name)

Is there a way of doing this with Indy please?

I'm a novice in Internet components.

Thanks in advance

You mean actually use it from the command line? Take a IdICMP component and
fill the host property. That's it. If you want to make a console
application create it at runtime.

Thanks for the swift response:
Using you Gui example I can do a simple Ping.

However, in NT I can ping like this:

ping -a 172.22.100.240

Pinging PCXYZ [999.22.100.240] with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 999.22.100.240: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128

It comes back with the host name of the (remote) PC.
Is there something in Indy that allows me do the same?

Do a reverse lookup. Look at the GetHosyByAddr, GetHostByName in GStack.

Thanks

I did showmessage(gstack.WSGetHostByAddr('XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX'))
and it works!
