computer name

[James]

Is there a way to get the name of a computer on the local network if
you know its Ip address and or its Mac address?

Use the System.Net.Dns class.

hello James

there may be other ways, but here's what I use


string ip = Request.ServerVariables [ "REMOTE_HOST" ];
msg.Text += "<p>You are currently logged on " + ip +
" [ " + System.Net.Dns.GetHostByAddress ( ip ).HostName + "
]</p>";

On a local network is the hostname the same as the computer networks
name?

 

[ReyN]

yes
