#Net.HostNameFromAddress

##Syntax Net.HostNameFromAddress ( hostAddr : string) : string

##Description Returns the TCP/IP hostname of the machine whose numeric address is specified by the hostAddr parameter.

##Details The Net module requires a TCP/IP stack to be installed and operating in order to function. It does not communicate using any other protocols

It is possible for Firewalls to interfere with the actions of the Net module, preventing connections from taking place.

##Example The following program prints out the hostname of the machine whose TCP/IP numeric address is "128.100.5.1".

    var hostAddr : string := "128.100.5.1"
    put "The machine name of ", hostAddr, " is ", 
        Net.HostNameFromAddress (hostAddr)

##Status Exported qualified.

This means that you can only call the function by calling Net.HostNameFromAddress, not by calling LocalName.
