There are several ways. You can use the the Socket modules gethostbyaddr function or the Net::Domain module which offers the following functions:
hostfqdn ()- Identify and return the FQDN of the current host. hostname () - Returns the smallest part of the FQDN which can be used to identify the host. hostdomain () - Returns the remainder of the FQDN after the hostname has been removed. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Trevor J.

Does anyone know the API interface to translate an tcp/ip address (ie: 123.456.789.123) to the corresponding NETBIOS name(ie: \\workstation)? >From the command line you can do this function with NBTSTAT -A 123.456.789.123 I know I could use system or back ticks and use a regular expression to compile the info. I was just hoping to collect the information directly with a API.
