Nessus can report by IP address, hostname, or MAC address (for hosts on
your local subnet). If you are specifying IP addresses as your targets
but want hostnames, make sure you check "Do a reverse lookup on the IP
before testing it" in the unix GUI under "General scan options" or
enable reverse_lookup in the client; if instead, you want MAC addresses,
then make sure "Designate hosts by their MAC address" is checked, also
under "General scan options".

As for Netbios names, no, I don't think so, but you report them with
plugin #10150, netbios_name_get.nasl.
