How to identify an IP address

[KWestos]

Hi

 

All I want to do is identify a device on our network by it's IP Address. Is there a command to resolve its domain name from it's address.

 

Sorry for posting what will turn out to be a simple question

If you open up a command prompt and type:

 

ping computername

 

This will reveal its IP address.

nslookup ipaddress

Loads of ways of doing this.....

I tend to drop to a CMD and type

 

nbtstat -a [ip_address]

[imiddleton25]

Ipconfig /all at command prompt givers you both ip and name in one screen

I'll chip in with

 

ping -a [name]

 

or look it up in the DHCP server

Can't really add any more to that - think everyone has covered all angles, at least the ones I know about.
