Subject: Getting a computer name by ip address.


Earlier this year (at a different company) I created a script that would 
run a windows dos command that would return a computer name and other 
information by IP address across a cooperate LAN.  I was able to run 
this command with cfexecute, parse out the computer name and display it 
on the top of intranent web pages.  This was of great benefit for the 
help desk to determine what computer users where calling about.

For the life of me, my sleep deprived addled brain can not recall the 
dos command that did this!  Can anybody help me out of my fuzz.

TIA
Ian Skinner
