Hi all
How can I get linux system hostname in a network from my linux or windows machine ??

As in windows, ping -a option gives the hostname, so what should be used for that??

ping - a 192.10.10.1 returns its hostname ( in windows)

Thanks in advance..............

I was looking for some other option thru any network commands available in linux but did not find it.

so Now DNS is the only solution for this.
