Use
NSLOOKUP

Or

PING -A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

NSLOOKUP uses DNS and PING will try WINS and DNS

If your computers are numbered like the ones I had, find the IP of your machine.

So if you are machine 26 and your ip ends with 60, you can make the calculations if you know whos sitting at what computer.

If you want to shut down the guy at computer 20, you can find the ip IF AND ONLY IF THE IP IS STATIC ( which in a school setting they should be, unless their admins are poor).

So to shut down the guy at 20, subtract your machine from his machine which gives you a difference of 6.

Subtract 6 from the last number in your ip and if they set it up right, his ip is exactly the same except the last number, which would hopefully be 54. You know what I mean?

"Unless their admins are poor..." LMAO

Or they want an easily administrated, sophisticated DHCP network with active directory. I opine so having WORKED in IT at a "school setting." Doesn't it occur to you that maybe we wouldn't want static IPs for the very reason you just gave (among others).

Of course, you could reference the PC by name once you're in the domain.

Of course, we just don't give people those kinds of permissions on Lab machines. Which we name statically on our secure domain and to which we apply liberal amounts of DHCP because it's efficient...

The bad thing is that you are not using domain server to control all 100 workstations. so you will need to do it manually.. depending on your software it might have command prompt arguments, so you can make a silent install script (like msi), write the script to your USB stick as autorun and plug it to each pc.. or you can check if the workstations have "Remote assistance" enabled.. you can also dedicate one workstation as a file server, so your script will call another script at this file server from autorun like "\\workstation25\install\script.cmd"

If you can access files and folders of these 100 workstations, you can write a script to run through all the workstations and place your software "setup" script at the startup folder of the workstations..

GiantLeap, on Dec 3, 2008 5:14:23 pm GMT

The script is an usual batch file like "install.cmd" or whatever placed to each PC's c:\path to userprofile\start menu\Startup folder

Example of install.cmd:
rem Mapping your remote folder as local hard drive
net use x: \\WorkstationToBeUsedAsFileServer\PathToYourSoftware

rem Changing path to the mapped folder
x:

rem Running your software setup (for .MSI software)
msiexec /i software.msi /quit /norestart /AnyOtherOptionYouWant (check msiexec /? for more options)

rem Running your software setup (for .EXE software)
AnyThingYouWantToRun.exe

rem Disconnecting the mapped folder
net use x: /d

rem Shutting down PC
shutdown /s

You could always type in

you don't really need the ip address of the computer to find out it's name

FIXED: How to get a Computer-Name on a domain/network using the IP Address or Username a the user logged in on it.

1) Find the IP address of the computer if you do not already have it
1 a) Go to Computer Management (right click on My Computer and click on Manage)
1 b) Go to System Tools, Shared Folders, Sessions (in the left hand pane) and find the IP Address of the PC that the user is logged onto (this sometimes shows the computer name instead of the IP Address).

2) Find the Computer Name using the IP Address
2 a) Go to DHCP (in Control Panel, Administrative Tools)
2 b) Go to Scope, Address Leases in the left hand Pane and find the IP Address listed, this will then also give you the Computer Name

3) Go to www.brightvisions.co.uk and let us know how you got on.

Thanks for the tip, it works great, except that it appears to list all of the names that were ever associated with an IP address. I have multiple entries for the same IP.

Is there a way to refresh DNS so that it only contains valid connected names?

It's actually surprisingly easy to find a computer's name. In fact, you don't even need command prompt to do it.
Here's the 1st way:

1. open start menu
2. click "run"
3. type in "sysdm.cpl"
4. press enter or click OK
5. lastly, click on the button that sayd "computer name"

Also, as xxhackerxx said, just use the following command on command prompt:
"net user"
It's as simple as that!


Hope this helped to all

Vignan, on Aug 20, 2009 1:37:07 pm BST

Finding the IP address assigned to a computer is very simple. All you have to do is open the command prompt and use the IPCONFIG command. If you want to find the IP address associated with a specific computer name, you can use the NBTSTAT command. The syntax for doing so is as follows:

NBTSTAT -a <computername>

What if you want to find the computer name associated with a specific IP address? The solution is simple. You can once again find the information you are looking for using the NBTSTAT command, only this time with a different switch. Instead of using -a, you will use -A and specify an IP address as shown below:

NBTSTAT -A <ipaddress>

The results will tell you the computer name that is currently associated with the IP address you have specified.

Nickitick149, on Oct 25, 2009 9:00:32 pm GMT

Using the "NBTSTAT -A <ipaddress>" isn't working. There are a lot of ways that people are saying you can use to find your IP address, and most of the ones using command prompt are different. So, it always says "host not found" whenever I try. I think i know what it is, but it still draws a blank.

Plz Help!! ( But try to keep it simple, not extremely complex )

chris, on Oct 17, 2009 5:01:15 am BST

Hmmm....well are you actually chatting with the person? If so, there are a couple ways to do it.


If so, there's a couple of ways to go about it.

he first way to do it is to open your command prompt. This is what you'll be using to find the person.

while your chatting with him, send him something, anything. Send him a file, a picture, anything. If you think the person might be sketchy about it, use your imagination and be creative.
While the file is transferring, type in the command line: netstat -n .
Be sure to note the space between "netstat" and "-a".
While the file is being transferred, you are making a connection to your computer. that means that the i.p. is connected to you, therefore letting you transfer the files.
However, a person's ip can change depending on where they are or where they are connected.
Yet assuming that this isn't the case, we can glean a little information here.
Using this method, we of course fine out the I.P. address after a little information sorting. At the same time, we might even possible find the MAC adress as well.
Both of these are pretty much useless to us.
However, you can go to this website:

http://www.lost-computer.com/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/absolute/WHO.CGI

this will give you the infomation about what router they're using and who's providing their internet, and a few more details. If you contact these providers with the information displayed and give them your story, or if you talk to local authorities, you will most likely be helped.

Also, I'd say look around at softwares maybe. There are tons of hacking softwares everywhere, and a lot of them are extremely effective. I've used many softwares myself recreationally, and it's surprising just how much information you can get from a good hacking device. If you have any other questions, feel free to email me at "thelorddragonreborn@yahoo.com"
I don't have all the answers, but I can certainly try to help. lol, it gives me an oportunity to learn more, if anything. Hope everything works out for you! =)
