what software to show computer names on our network

[Sifaga]

i went to each of the pc's at work and typed in ipconfig and found the IP address for each PC

now ive been told to do it again to get the Computer name

is there some simple software i can use that will give me this info

i have the ip addresses if that would help

[Supreme2k]

type

ipconfig /all

that will give you the name (host name), like so

Windows IP Configuration

Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : Workbench
Primary Dns Suffix  . . . . . . . :
Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid
IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No

Get a hold of the excellent set of network tools 'Net Tools' from http://users.pandora.be/ahmadi. It contains a wide variety of very useful tools. (I use them frequently)

There are two good programs in the set that you can use.
One is 'IP Address Scanner' which you supply an IP range and it will scan the range and report hits and names for each existing address.
The other is 'Resolve Host & IP' for which you just enter an IP address on your LAN and it will return the Name.

This of course relies on you having the necessary network permissions to do the scans.

EDIT: Cheers Bunyip, you were right on the money

seems like a very handy program

Here's a nice little one if you need simple funtions (and not the other 101).

It would be a pretty sloppy ITnazi who did not already have this info - sounds like "make work" for a newby to me.
