Good evening everyone,
I have a computer in my network (box) that I have identified with its IP address through my workstation. Is it possible to know the name of the computer having that IP address?

    Very simple;

    go to the command prompt (Start / Run / cmd) and in the DOS window type nbtstat -an ip_of_the_machine

    This will give you the "NetBIOS name table of remote computers" if you are on a domain, it will be listed, etc.

    There you go, hoping to have answered your question.

      Thank you, it works!
      Is there a command that allows you to see all the IPs of a network with their names?

        To find the IP addresses of a network, you need listening software. In other words, do a Google search for a sniffer or something like that. What you do is your business, by the way. Hehe it's like alcohol, to be consumed in moderation haha.

    Not a command but software... under certain conditions, yes...

    Easier to find the name of your machine locally:
    Start > Run > CMD then in the command window:
    IPCONFIG /ALL
    will give you the entire network configuration of your machine including its little name.

    If you look closely at the first message posted, it talks about a PC identified by its IP address FROM another workstation.
    An IPCONFIG /ALL would be too easy ;)
