For a batch file I am writing I need a command Line utility which converts an IP address into a hostname. Superscan does this for me but with a GUI. I've tried NBSTAT but this relies on NetBios and I've also tried hostname from sysinternals but thisalso fails.
Thanks
Peter

CommandLine IP to hostname
This is a rough approach, but:
PING
will also try to resolve the address into the DNS name. The specific format will be something like:
PING ()
so perhaps your script can try yo parse out the name?

Sorry should have mentioned that it's for an internal network with no DNS or netbios, just the computer browser service. If superscan can perform this lookup I figure a commandLine utility can.

Sorry to those people suggesting DNS based answers but it's for an internal network with no DNS server or netbios only computer browser. I don't know what method superscan uses for it's lookup function but I need that in a command line.

CommandLine IP to hostname
Try "nslookup "
If there is a dns server you want to specify use "nslookup "
In either case you'll have to extract the name from the response.
