How to get IP address with a host name?

I am making a client that connect to a server that is locally hosted that gets stock numbers from the server. The program does work if i use this code below but the way it works is by getting the dns name so in theory it only takes www.website.com and I cant figure out how I can get it to recognize a normal ip of 127.0.0.1 or localhost IP:

   IPHostEntry ipHostInfo = Dns.GetHostEntry("www.website.com");
            IPAddress ipAddress = ipHostInfo.AddressList[0];
            IPEndPoint remoteEP = new IPEndPoint(ipAddress, port);

Attached is my attemp to get this to resolve the ip but I dont think I am approaching this right the full code can be seen here:StockReader Client Code

    {
        // Connect to a remote device.

            client.BeginConnect(remoteEP,
                new AsyncCallback(ConnectCallback), client);

            // Receive the response from the remote device.
            Receive(client);
            receiveDone.WaitOne();

            // Write the response to the console.
            Console.WriteLine("Response received : {0}", response);

            // Release the socket.
            client.Shutdown(SocketShutdown.Both);
            client.Close();

        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
        }
    }

When you set the value of ipAddress, you can use the IPAddress.Parse method to pass in a string and retrieve an IPAddress object instead of using the domain name:

string ip = "127.0.0.1";
IPAddress address = IPAddress.Parse(ipAddress);
IPEndPoint remoteEP = new IPEndPoint(ipAddress, port);

Try using string sHostName = "localhost";

// Establish the remote endpoint for the socket.  
IPAddress ipAddress = IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1");
IPEndPoint remoteEP = new IPEndPoint(ipAddress, portnumber);

// Create a TCP/IP socket.  
Socket s = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);
s.Connect(remoteEP);
