Hello,

Can you tell me which DOS command allows you to find out the name of a computer connected to the network?

In other words, if I have 3 computers A, B, and C, and I am connected to machine A, which DOS command should I execute to know the name of computer C if I have its IP address?

Thank you for your help /-

    Hello,

    Ping -a @ip

    Best regards.

      Hello bendrop,

      This command only gives me a regular ping. It's as if I were typing the command ping @ip.

      The -a switch allows you to resolve the IP to a name.
