DOS Command 3

[DColcl]

There are a ton of DOS commands out there. I'm looking for one that will tell me the name of the computer that a certain address as been assigned.
Yes, i can do it from Windows, but I was looking for a way to do it from the CMD.

You could also try ping -a 10.1.1.10. (or whatever address you want to query)

You can use NBTSTAT -A ipaddress also, this gives you the user who is logged in also

You mean find out the name of a machine from IP addy?

NSLOOKUP 127.0.0.1

E.G.

C:\>NSLOOKUP 172.19.0.72
Server: NORWICH-DNS
Address: 172.19.0.10

Name: nr-itadmin1.norwich.company.co.uk
Address: 172.19.0.72

C:\>

That'll do it - NSLOOKUP is a app designed for talking to DNS servers. Does reverse and forward lookups and if the server allows access - full dumps of a DNS domain. For a forward lookup just enter in the name instead of a IP addy.

Ta,
