Hi. We've had a computer 'mis-used' on the works network and we have the IP address of the offending machine. Is there a way we can use this IP number to find the computers name, so that we can then check its history to see who commited offence. Unfortunately the machines are named 1-500, but we can tell by the name where in the building the machine is located.

Thanks.

if you check your networking equipment there is usally a button that shows all connected computers names and their associated ip address'.

edit: in the router/switch control panel.
