IP to Host Name conversion

Bill211 · 01-31-2002, 12:20 PM

I'm playing around with my log files, and I want to convert the IPs to Hostnames. ("Who has visited my site") My preference would be to do it on my local machine, but the only way I've found is using tracert and trapping the output (slow and sloppy).

Does anyone know of any easier way to input an IP and output a host name? I'd like to be able to use a "batch" input, and output a file of hostnames. Is there a utility/script on FQ that will do the translation from the log files?

There must be an easier way to do this, but I'm stumped.

Sam Spade (for Windows) is a great (and free) utility that will do the lookup and lots of other neat stuff (but, as far as I know, not as a batch process).

A while back I tried out NS-Batch and think it does what you want.

But if you are downloading your log files to your local PC to find out where you visitors are coming from then I suggest you look at running some kind of log analysis software. It will do the IP look-ups for you, plus will give you breakdowns of domains or countries are doing. Personal choice is Summary

Thanks for the info, everyone. What I wound up with is a combination of SamSpade and NSBatch. They're both good, so I'm using both
