Whenever I want to use the GetHostByAddress function, the resolution
takes quite a lot a time ( +- 8-9 seconds) before the hostname is
resolved. Primary and secondary DNS servers are obtained by DHCP, so
that isn't the problem. Isn't there a way to make this operation a bit
faster?

In other words, where can I find the Pocket Pc Hosts file?

Windows CE stores that information in the Registry, rather than a file. See
MSDN for more info:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wcetcpip/html/cmconHostNameResolutionUsingRegistryEntries.asp

If you want to quickly see if this makes a difference in your case, there is
a freeware tool that can be used to edit host entries in the Registry. Go to
http://www.zimac.de/cestuff.htm and scroll down until you find "Pocket
Hosts".

Hope that helps,
Darren

I added the keys in the registry and problem was solved.
Thanks Darren
