Hostname of clinets PC [solved]

« on: September 17, 2017, 04:12:01 pm »

Hello friends,

is is possible to output hostnames of connected PCs in LAN to terminal?
if i use 'arp -a' instead of hostname of client i get '?'.

Thanks!

the DHCP server may know it as it is a field that is sent with the DHCP request.

Do the IP addresses otherwise resolve to hostnames? You may be missing reverse DNS zones.
