Win32 only: InetAddress.getHostByAddr() returns ip address string, not the host name.
It should return host hame. Note: user says it is a problem with byte order of the
network address. I'm including his entire message in description.

Steps to reproduce:
Compile and run this code on a Win 32 machine
// Note: this creates a server listening to socket 10000
Connect to the computer that this code is running on via telnet on port 10000
// Note: the server will print the host name and shut down.

The argument to gethostbyaddr should be in network byte order, but it isn't.
(This is Win32 specific because it's an endianness problem.) Anyway here's
your program. Start it up and then telnet to the machine on port 10000.
The hostname will not be resolved; the program will print out the dotted IP
number. I have built a patched version of the runtime - incorporating the
patch that I mentioned - which, when used to run this program, prints out
the correct host name of the machine which established the connection.
