On a Novell network, that doesn't have DNS, WINS or NDS, how would you go about getting the machine name of a remote computer given that you have the IP Address? (NBTStat doesn't seem to work.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, AccountCR, Have you tried TRACERT and then the IP Address? Like
TRACERT 22.1.1.1

I think tracert will show both the IP address and the name as it traces the path to the device.

You can also use ping -a x.x.x.x

nbtstat should work OK, what problems are you having with it?
