I am new, What direction I should go...

I am trying to write a simple program that queries a server for a DNS address information, all in bytes.

What I expect to get is something like this:

$ dns www.amazon.com

Service: 53

Server: tamara.acs.oakland.edu

IP: 141.210.10.25

len: 32

65620100 00010000 00000000 03777777// query

06616d61 7a6f6e03 636f6d00 00010001

65628580 00010001 00000000 03777777// response

06616d61 7a6f6e03 636f6d00 00010001

c00c0001 00010000 003c0004 cfabb510

The two above section are the query and the response from amazone.com in byte.

I am trying it with a datagrampacket and datagramsocket methods. but I am not able to receive anything. Sending is ok but not receiving.

any help regarding where to start would be great.

thanks,
