Get hostname from ip address
Hi,

I always thought ping -a x.x.x.x would retrieve the hostname with the pings, but I must be wrong as it's not working.

Can anyone remind me of the command?

Any help is much appreciated.

That is the correct syntax for the ping command. I tested it out, as well, and it still works for me. You should get a response like the following:

Quote:
Pinging hostname.domain.suffix [xxx.xxx.xx.xx] with 32 bytes of data:

etc...etc...etc...

nslookup can do reverse DNS on IP's. On your own computer 'hostname' at a command prompt will return the computer name. There are additional tools at www.sysinternals.com
