Find computer name using IP address
If you want to find computer name of a machine from an IP address, here is what you can try.
You can try this on machines in your LAN.
You can also try this on your own machine if you are keen to find it using command prompt.
Steps:
1. Goto “Start”>”Run”
2. type “Command” and press “OK”. For some OS you will need to type “cmd”.
3. Now you are in the command prompt.
4. Execute following command. (By typing and pressing enter)
ping -a 000.000.000.000
Here replace zeros with the IP address you have.
For e.g.
ping -a 10.83.0.98
3. It will return you the host name and also will ping it to find its availability.
