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