I think if you just do nslookup [IP ADDY] it'll work.  Kinda.

If not, I do know another way.  You'll need three stout men and two large
mirrors....

If that doesn't work, and you really like pain, you can try reversing
the address and adding IN-ADDR.ARPA to the end of it...

$ nslookup

But you gotta /really/ like pain to do that...

(PS: nslookup works just fine as Tom says.  Skip the pain.  It 
hurts.)

The reason I asked is that someone pointed out the following cool page
to me:

http://www.colostate.edu/~redder/netmgmt/

Under Traffic Analysis/Interface Stats you can see a graph of the
traffic for your gateway, assuming you know which one is your gateway. 
Problem is, I only know my gateway's IP, not it's name.  I was hoping
reverse DNS would give me a clue.

Both the Unix "traceroute" and the Windows "tracert" appear to do
reverse resolution by default.  If reverse mapping exists, they
should have done it for you.

tracert!?!  )(*&@#$ Microsofties!  I've been looking for that NT command
for ages.  Can't they just use the standard UNIX command names. 
BASTARDS!

Anyway, Dwyer scores again!  Is there anything you don't know?

Oh, and my subnets gateway isn't registerd, but packets go through
csu-gw-1.ACNS.ColoState.EDU and FRGP-GW-1.ColoState.EDU.

The full Windoze "DOS" list is

arp
ftp
nbtstat
netstat
ping
route
tracert
winipcfg (windoze via the prompt)

command without parameters gets you the assignable parameters on all except
winipcfg which launches a window.

I use netstat and nbtstat frequently from client boxes.  On those that allow
interval checks, don't forget you can create a log file of sorts by
appending the command and parameters with > c:/logs/logfile.txt or some
such.
