Hi,

I am using Windows XP and was wondering how (perhaps using the "cmd"
window) can I type in an IP address and see what hostname it resolves
to.

Thanks, - Dave

You can use tracert.exe but you may not get the answer
you expect since one IP address can be used by several
host names.
 
Dear laredotornado,

Use this C:\>nslookup a.b.c.d Where a.b.c.d is your dotted
decimal IPv4 address.


Have a nice network,

Thanks all for your responses. Unfortunately none of them could tell
me the domain name associated with the IP.
