how can I use snmp to find the hostname of a host using just the IP?
You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.
You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

You'd need to query the iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysName
object.
( 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0 )
object.
( 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0 )

You need to use an snmp query utility. SNMPUtil.exe from the resource kit
for example.
SNMPUtil GET %SNMPAgent% %CommunityName% .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0
i.e.
SNMPUtil GET MyPC Public .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0
for example.
SNMPUtil GET %SNMPAgent% %CommunityName% .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0
i.e.
SNMPUtil GET MyPC Public .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0

If the community name is changed, I would need to know that to pick up
an info off of the box?

Object ID. That is the number that I initially posted along with what it
means.
..iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysName
..1 .3 .6 .1 .2 .1 .1 .5 .0
means.
..iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysName
..1 .3 .6 .1 .2 .1 .1 .5 .0

thank you, where can I find a list of all object id's used in snmp?

They are in the MIB files as well as defined in the RFCs
