I have an IP address of a computer that is somewhere in my town, but not on my network. I need to get the computer name, NOT hostname, of this computer. Maybe there's an easy way to do this and I'm not thinking, but any help is greatly appreciated.
[EDIT] None of you computer guys can help me out here? Nooooone knows? :`(

Chances are not good that you can get a hold of the computer name.
Your only chance is to try to connect to the computer. NetBios is handled through TCP 135. If they have a firewall blocking it, and they should, you cannot find its Computer Name.
You might try connecting to it via UNC path.
To do this, \\ipofcomputer
Probably won't work. |
