WiFi101 getHostByName DNS library access

Official Hardware Retired WiFi Shield 101

I'm seeing good stability and performance from the WiFi 101 shield on both Uno and Mega. Thanks, library makers.

How do I get access to the getHostByName function? I can see references to it in the library code, have used the Ethernet function, but just don't know how to connect the dots with the WiFi101 library.

Thanks.

Try:

IPAddress test;
WiFi.hostByName("www.google.com", test);
Serial.println(test);

The results do not always gain a successful response from the remote server.

Nice! Thanks. For some reason, I was having difficulty finding the right combination of things to get this to compile. Works like a charm. Function returns a 0 or 1 on success, too.

Much appreciated.
