Find Machine Name and User Name with IP Address

Post by BOOBALAN.V »

Dear Community,

Is there any way to find my machine name and user name, if I know my IPv4 address? I tried the method which given below. But its showing "There are no entries in the list". What is this mean?

1) netstat -a myip
2) net view /domain:mydomain > D:\output.txt

netstat -a
will give you a list of all the connections and listening ports on your local computer. I am not sure what you intend to get from this.

net view /domain
will give you a list of all the computers that are sharing things in the domain

You can get your current computer name and username from the commands
hostname
echo %username%

Thanks for your kind reply sir. My intension is if I use "ping -a myip" this command it will shows with hostname. By using this command I could find hostname. But I want to know hostnames's user name. Can we find sir? if run "echo %username%" in my machine we can find user name. But if I want to know some hostname's user name how to find out sir. Kindly tell me sir.

That's not really possible. Many things with IP addresses have no username, or multiple usernames.
