Determining The Computer Name Associated With An IP Address (Windows 2k/XP/2003)

Thank you for your information! It’s very helpful!

great information, I really need it this for work!

Finding the IP address assigned to a computer with the following syntax does not give me the IP address.

NBTSTAT -a

I am getting the computer’s name - Why?

Just found this page - very helpful. Thank you

this didn’t work for me.
I used the following syntax to obtain the IP address from the computer name:
NBTSTAT -a

I actually got the MAC Address but did not get the IP address. There was a “Node IP Address” referenced but that was my IP address.

i used some command .. realy thaks.. it is very greatfull help..

Thanks for the info, really helpful. For those who are trying to resolve an ip from a computer name, this command will only list the name table for the computer, NOT the ip address. However it is painfully easy to get the ip for a computer with only its name - ping it.

Thanks lot ! This is really helpful.

Indeed very helpful. But we have more ip ranges on our network. I’m in the 16.XX range and the PC i want to have the from is in the 17.XX range. Anyone who know how that works

The command is “nbtstat -a NAME”, not just “nbtstat -a”

fantastic!
NBTSTAT command is exaclty what i was looking for.
thanks a ton.

Great find! excellent resource!

There’s a difference between:

Use A.

I use NBTSTAT -a [RemoteName] to get the IP address but the result is Host not found. But when I use NBTSTAT -A [IP address] it shows the result succesfully.

Any idea about Host not found i got?

Note: For me NBTSTAT -a [RemoteName] only works with the same IP segment.

@ Aks & Tamer
For me It only applies with the same IP segment.

I have used this NBTSTAT command, for few of the ip’s i am getting the computer name but not to every ip address in my network. Can any body tell the reason. here is the out put i got:
——————————————————————–
Local area Connection:
