How can I resolve a machine name from an IP address? The machine that the script is running on is NT4.
I've tried this (with use Socket qw(:DEFAULT :crlf); at the top of the script) $machine_name = gethostbyaddr(inet_aton($userIP), AF_INET) or die "Can't resolve $userIP: $!\n" It works on the LAN, but not across a router to the remainder of our WAN. Any ideas? -- John Edwards IT Support Runecraft Leeds 0113 2206317 07961 356186 www.runecraft.co.uk -- Disclaimer: These are my opinions and probably not those of my employer, since I developed them long before I came to work for my current employer. --------------------------Confidentiality--------------------------.
