Hello. Is there an easy way I can get a computer name from an IP Address? Thank you.

If it is on your local network try the following at a command line

nbtstat -a x where x is the ip address of the machine you are attempting to id.

If you are trying to id on the net then try filtering by a whois. You can do that here...

If you are running a reverse DNS lookup zone, you could enter the command:

PING -A XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (where xxx is your IP address).

Thank you.
