    Anyone can tell me how to resolve pc-name for a given IP address on local area network ?

    I went through many answers but no one helped me :/

    I am mentioning all tricks I used below ::

    netstat -a <ip>
    
    nmblookup -A <ip>
    
    host <ip>
    
    nbtscan <ip>
    
    nbtscan <ip>
    
    arp -a
    
    nmap -sP <ip>
    

    No one resolved name of pc corresponding to given IP address.

    Thanking you in advance!!

    Let me know In case If you want to see output for a particular command.
