[Interest] Getting a hostname given the IP Address

[Dan White]

On Linux, if you have no DNS, you can use /etc/hosts

I do not know if there is a Windows equivalent.

Do you have a proper DNS set up? Is "nslookup 192.168.0.xxx" (Windows) 
or "host 192.168.0.xxx" (Linux) able to resolve the address?
