retrieving computer name from remote 3

[bn2hunt]

I would like to retreive the computer name of a pc using a specific Ip address. Is this possible?

Thanks

Dan

Do you want to accomplish this in a web page? If not, you can use the command prompt.

Start - Run - Type Command - Click Okay

If it's outside the network type tracert like:
tracert 111.111.1.101
and press enter

If it's within a network you can use nbtstat like:
nbtstat -a 111.111.1.111
and press enter

or from the command prompt, type net view, it will show you all of the computers on your domain/workgroup.

You can retrieve the result of the command line you run from a script. Just have a look in FAQS/Applications for the FAQ I wrote on the subject.

Thanks for your help, these worked great. The NBTSTAT command needs a -A instead of -a when using the ip I think that method works best for me.

Thanks again for your help
