Alternatively, you may query your local DNS box (many DHCP-serving "routers" do local DNS), by using either nslookup or dig

Thanks for HOSTS tip.

I'm not using local DNS.  My dhcp is from IJFW, where the dhcp server supplies the dns that I input, so technically, I guess I could run BIND and point to that (more effort than I wish to make so probably never will install Bind).  I just point to my ISP's DNS.

  
Right. I forgot that you were using IJFW.
With static IP, the connections log of IJFW translates the ip to the hostname from the HOSTS file.  Apparently I can't do something similar with dhcp.  Since there are so few hosts here it really doesn't matter, I was curious because I figured a large organization reviewing log files might want to know which host assigned a specific IP.

  
That's true. In my setups, I either query the DNS as I described, or just throw in the towel and use the management tools available (there is a Java-based configuration utility for Novell DNS and DHCP, and there is the web-based iManager; either of which will list assigned hosts).
You need to have a local domain name configured in the box for this to work, however, or it will not understand the -d request.    

Explains why I never had much luck when I played with dig.  ;-)

  
:-)  Certainly not for your local network. However, dig is the preferred way of querying outside sources (nslookup is considered deprecated, although M$ continues to use it).
