Solve : server name from an ip address?

Answer»

I have an ip address and need to find out what the server is called, if anything, USING a DOS command.

Can you help? Is the ip adress on a your computer?? Is it a computer that you don't have access to? Is it a different computer that is connected to yours on the same network???MORE INFO!!Thanks for the reply. We had an IP conflict on our network after we ADDED a server to the network using a static IP. So somewhere on our network is an IP address that hasn't been allocated correctly. I can ping the address and get a responce. So want to identify what was using the IP address.

Hope this helpsYou can try to ping the computer with the -a parameter and it will try to resolve the IP to the hostname. Example:
Code: [Select]ping -a 192.168.1.1You can also try using the ARP commandYou might find the Sam Spade network toolkit very useful (ALTHOUGH it's a Win APP). See the software FAQ (link in my signature).THATS IT Ping -a
Perfect!
Thanks for your help everyone.
