I have an IP address from a server in our organization, what can I use to get the server name? Is there a dos command or anything out there that will help?

did you try using ping ?
that should return the name...are you inside the LAN or out on the internet trying to do this?

ping only returned IP address - that didn't help. Thanks tho appreciate the response. P.S. Its from within a WAN.

I belive if you log into that server and go to the command prompt. Type "ipconfig /all" it should give you that servers host name.

If I new the server name, I might have been able to login to it. Thanks for responding though.

Thanks, it worked for what I asked! I unfortunately can't find the file I'm looking for on the server, but I'm still looking. But at least I know where to look!

Dear friend,

Try to ping with ip address with -a parameter.
eg:
C:\>ping -a 10.1.1.90

(-a) will help you to get the server name while pinging with ipaddress.

Reply me if you are not able to...
