I can ping the IP address but i cannot
determine Host name. Is there any Network tool/utility
in resource kit or any other tool where i can determine
this IP address on the network,if any one knows
please let me know.
 
ping -a xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx will attempt to resolve the name.

or

nslookup xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Already tried all these, but still does not
show the host name. All i want to know
either the MAC or Host name urgently
 
nbtstat -A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx will return the MAC address.

If nslookup or ping -a don't resolve the name, maybe there's no DNS entry
for the host.

Hi,

I have already tried this, but still i am
not able to get MAC address. I know by
sniff you can get the host information,
but if any one knows from where i can
get download from or any other utility
or Network command to fix this problem
 
To take a sniff you can download ethereal from http://www.ethereal.com/
