I need to create a socket connection to a site.

String name = "elektra.usm.com"
socket sock = new socket( name, port );

This wont work because the name isn't an ip address. I need to create
an InetAddress from it. How do I do that?

For example:

import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;

try {
InetAddress in = InetAddress.getByName("www.somewhere.com");
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
// .. whatever
}

Yes it will. The Socket constructor doesn't require an ip address, it
will gladly accept a hostname.
