		    // Get IP Address
		    byte[] ipAddr = addr.getAddress();

		    // Get hostname
		    String hostName = addr.getHostName();
		    String fullyQualifiedHostName = addr.getCanonicalHostName() ;
		    String hostAddress = addr.getHostAddress() ;

		    System.out.println("Host Name : "+hostName) ;
		    System.out.println("Host IP Address : "+hostAddress) ;
		    System.out.println("Host Name with domain name suffix : " + fullyQualifiedHostName) ;
