Get host from ip windows

I’m looking for a command line tool which gets an IP address and returns the host name, for Windows.

The command you are looking for is called nslookup, works fine for reverse lookups IFF someone has configured a reverse zone file, which they don’t always do.

if all the above fails, and you are specifically looking for a Windows machine, you can use

nbtstat -a 192.168.1.50

The data returned will be all the NetBIOS records the machine has. The one with a <20h> record type will usually be the machine’s name.

For many IP addresses you could just use ping -a, for example

ping -a 209.85.229.106

will return

If you use nslookup command with the IP address as its first argument will return the PTR record (the reverse entry) if it exists. For example:

nslookup 192.168.1.50

(tested under Windows 10 x64)

From command line:

FOR /F "tokens=2 delims= " %A in ('2^>NUL NSLOOKUP "%IP_ADDRESS%" ^| FINDSTR /C:": "') do ECHO %A

Within a script:

FOR /F "tokens=2 delims= " %%A in ('2^>NUL NSLOOKUP "%IP_ADDRESS%" ^| FINDSTR /C:": "') do ECHO %%A

Two (side)notes:

To supress NSLOOKUP errors you have to use 2^>NUL instead of 1^>NUL
I’ve used FINDSTR /C to extract the value after the four whitespace characters. As the four spaces only seem to exist for the Name: entry, this appears to be only way to make it work on other localized systems.

Use dig. A Windows port is available from the ISC here (look in the immediate download box for the link to the zip file). Here’s their man page reference for dig.

Ward’s point about the reverse lookup records often not getting created is very much true. Reverse lookups often do fail because many admins don’t bother creating the ptr records.

tracert might be an option.

tracert 10.12.190.51

Results in:

Tracing route to LAP8662.aus.int.example.com [10.12.190.51]

This article explains how to find out the hostname of a computer connected to a local network using the IP address. Depending on the type of IP address — public or private — there are two different procedures. Here we will give an easy hint on how to do this.

How to find a hostname via public IP address?

In order to find the hostname of a computer with a public IP address, you have to pass the address to the Domain Name System (DNS) server. Here are the steps to follow:

Click on the Window Start button.
Click on “All Programs”.
Click on “Accessories”.
Right-click on «Command Prompt«.
Choose «Run as Administrator«.
Type “nbtstat -a <ip_address>”. Note that <ip_address> is the IP address of the computer.

How to find a hostname via private IP address?

Finding the hostname of a computer with a private IP address and no local DNS server means you need to query the host itself by using a Windows utility. Here are the steps to follow:

Click on the Window Start button.
Click on “All Programs”.
Click on “Accessories”.
A black box opens.
Type «nslookup -a <ip_address>«. Note that <ip_address> is the IP address of the computer.

Note that it is not necessary to know an IP address in order to find other systems if you have a WiFi LAN connection.

We hope that you find these solutions useful and that your question is answered!

Using `Resolve-DnsName` Cmdlet

To retrieve the hostname from the given IP address in PowerShell, use the Resolve-DnsName cmdlet with -Type and PTR parameters.

Resolve—DnsName —Type PTR —Name 8.8.8.8 | Select—Object —ExpandProperty NameHost

In this example, the Resolve-DnsName cmdlet resolves the IP addresses to DNS names (hostnames). The -Type parameter is used to specify that the query should be for a PTR record (a PTR record is a type of Domain Name System record that maps an IP address to a hostname), and the -Name parameter specified the IP address we want to resolve.

The command then pipes the output to the Select-Object cmdlet to expand the NameHost property, which contains the hostname corresponding to the IP address. The output is then piped to the Select-Object cmdlet to expand the NameHost property, which contains the hostname corresponding to the IP address.

Replace the 8.8.8.8 with the IP address you want to resolve.

Using `nslookup` Command

Use the nslookup to get hostname from IP address in PowerShell.

$ipAddress = «213.133.127.245»

nslookup $ipAddress | Select—String —Pattern ‘Name:’

Name: kronos.alteregomedia.org

This code used the nslookup command to request the DNS server for the hostname associated with the IP address 213.133.127.245. The nslookup command output is piped to the Select-String cmdlet, which searches for lines containing the Name:, which includes the hostname information.

Using `[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByAddress` Method

Use the [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByAddress method to get hostname from IP address in PowerShell.

$ipAddress = «8.8.8.8»

$hostEntry = [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByAddress($ipAddress)

$hostname = $hostEntry.HostName

Write—Host «The hostname associated with IP address $ipAddress is $hostname»

The hostname associated with IP address 8.8.8.8 is dns.google

We can observe the above code retrieved the hostname of a given IP address. In this example, the $ipAddress variable contained the IP address we wanted to resolve. The [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByAddress method used this $ipAddress variable as an input and returned the System.Net.IPHostEntry object that contains various details about the host. Once this object is returned, the .HostName property of the IPHostEntry object extracts the hostname.

That’s all about how to get hostname from IP address in PowerShell.

You can use the nbtstat command-line to get hostname with IP as the following:

Open CMD.
Run the below command-line
```
 nbtstat -a ServerIP

nbtstat displays NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) protocol statistics, NetBIOS name tables for both the local computer and remote computers, and the NetBIOS name cache, it is available only if you have installed the TCP/IP protocol.

3) Get Hostname by IP using nslookup

You can use the nslookup command-line to get hostname from IP as the following:

Open CMD.
Run the below command-line
```
