[LAN] - Finding another computer’s name using IP




Issue



I need to find the computer name of one PC connected in LAN (joined to domain).
I have the IP address of terminal. How to find the computername?

Solution


To get another machine’s identity on the LAN network :
  • Open Command (Start > Run > CMD)
  • Type:

NSLOOKUP

Or 
PING -A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
(IP Address)

Please note that NSLOOKUP uses DNS and PING will try WINS and DNS
