tanx everbody, i make the situation clear, I made a DNS packet and then sent it to the server, i got an answer, parsed the Header part then parsed the Question part now i want to parse the Answer part, in the answer part has the format "NAME,TYPE,CLASS,TTL,RDLENGHT,RDATA", if this NAME is compressed how can i print it without decompressing it, and how can i decompress it and print it? Thanx
