In W2K, tracert will give me the host name if I enter the IP and the IP if I enter the host name. Why doesn't that do the same in XP and what do to get the host name from an IP address?

I apparently did not make that clear enough. When I am sitting at a server and want to see whose workstation is coming up by IP on some report, I used to use tracert with the IP address and it would return the name associated with that address. I want to do the same on XP. But the name and IP are not on the station I am initiating the trace from.
