I'm fried. Windows CMD line question

[djheater]

I know there's a way to resolve an IP to a machine name (on a LAN) but for the life of me I can't remember what it is. 🙁

Any help would be appreciated.

Try

ping -a xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Thanks I'm so dumb... I forgot it was a ping option 😱

Thanks again...

nslookup is the normal way to resolve names.

I just gave the ping option because he didnt specify what OS he was on, and I dont think nslookup works on Windows 98...

That's cause Win9X is a POS.

You won't find me disagreeing with that....
