  Hello Jaz,
  
  Use NSLOOKUP
  
  at the CMD promt type NSLOOKUP
  
  Then:
  
  > IPADDRESS
  
  NSLOOKUP will return the FQDN. From there you will see the host name
  
  Cheers,
  
  Miguel

  do Dns and Wins work correctly? if they are, it is easy to get the assoication between IP  and host.

  So if you ping IP you get response only from IP and it does not resolve the name.

  But if you do

  c:\>ping -a [ipaddress]

  It attempts a DNS reverse lookup query to check the PTR record for the IP address and it its able to reson it give you the name.

  other places to look for the already resolve Name- IP association is using

  ipconfig/displaydns  -This is for DNS

  nbtstat-c   - This is for nebios.

  nslookup has already been discussed
