Find Local Computername by Local IP

[jWalker]

Hey!

I made a small script that tells me which PCs in my factory's network are online.

Now i need to get the Computer name to a specific ip!

I know that it works with CMD:

nslookup %IP%

But i need / want a similar function for autoit..

I know i could use this cmd command in autoit but i just want to get the PC name and nslookup gives some more things back...

Anybody knows such a function?

TCPNameToIP()

[jWalker]

No the other way!

#include <iNet.au3>

(EDIT) TCPStartup ( )

$test = _TCPIpToName ( "192.168.40.56" )

ConsoleWrite( $test )

Returns nothing

*facepalm

Try this:

#include <Constants.au3>
Global $ip = @IPAddress1
MsgBox(0, "Test", IP2HOST($ip))

Func IP2HOST($ip) ;coded by UEZ 2011
    Local $run = Run(@ComSpec & " /c ping -a -n 1 -4 " & $ip, @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)
    Local $line
    While 1
        $line &= StdoutRead($run)
        If @error Then ExitLoop
    Wend
    Local $aResult = StringRegExp($line, "(?Um).*\h(.*)\h\[.*", 3)
    If @error Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
    Return $aResult[0]
EndFunc

Thanks for That UEZ But

#include <iNet.au3>

(EDIT) TCPStartup ( )

$test = _TCPIpToName ( "192.168.40.56" )

ConsoleWrite( $test )

This works too.. i simply forgot TCPStartup()

Thanks UEZ adding to my function folder

ping -a -n 1 -4 " & $ip

That only seems to work for the local machine for me (using XP Pro SP3).

On remote machines, "ping -a" just outputs "Pinging 192.168.0.5 ...", with no name resolution.

I can ping those same machines using their hostname, instead of IP, with no problem.

What is the -4 parm?

The other _TCPIpToName() method seems to work, but if you scan a range with it, it takes forever to return.

Non-existant IP's aren't handled very quickly. I cancelled a half-complete 0 to 255 scan after 10 minutes.

Edit: the -w option can get Ping chewing through the bad IP's quickly, but, as I said, Ping -a only returns names for the local machine or websites. DHCP is turned off on our switch and we're all using static IP's, but I can still ping successfully using the hostnames.

Scanning 0 to 255 took almost 10 minutes!

Hi Spiff59,

this is just an alternative to the build-in TCPNameToIP() function. Of course any name resolution (DNS, WINS,Hosts, Computer Browser) must work to resolve the ip address to host name.

My test system is Win7 X64 (joined to a DNS integrated AD domain) and thus some options in the ping.exe app might be different.

Here the ping options on my system

Usage: ping [-t] [-a] [-n count] [-l size] [-f] [-i TTL] [-v TOS]
            [-r count] [-s count] [[-j host-list] | [-k host-list]]
            [-w timeout] [-R] [-S srcaddr] [-4] [-6] target_name

Options:
    -t             Ping the specified host until stopped.
                   To see statistics and continue - type Control-Break;
                   To stop - type Control-C.
    -a             Resolve addresses to hostnames.
    -n count       Number of echo requests to send.
    -l size        Send buffer size.
    -f             Set Don't Fragment flag in packet (IPv4-only).
    -i TTL         Time To Live.
    -v TOS         Type Of Service (IPv4-only. This setting has been deprecated
                   and has no effect on the type of service field in the IP Header).
    -r count       Record route for count hops (IPv4-only).
    -s count       Timestamp for count hops (IPv4-only).
    -j host-list   Loose source route along host-list (IPv4-only).
    -k host-list   Strict source route along host-list (IPv4-only).
    -w timeout     Timeout in milliseconds to wait for each reply.
    -R             Use routing header to test reverse route also (IPv6-only).
    -S srcaddr     Source address to use.
    -4             Force using IPv4.
    -6             Force using IPv6.
