Getting NetBIOS Names
I'm working on a custom PERL script here to do some reporting on Internet
usage, etc. However, I'm running into a minor problem.
I can monitor Internet usage by IP address; however, we're using DHCP here
and IP addresses might change for the systems on my internal net. The other
issue is that a report full of IP addresses isn't as easy to read as one
that could have the NetBIOS names in their place.
A real drastic solution I have to this is to use PERL to access the WINS
database stored on my NT Server to map IP's and NetBIOS names, but I'm
thinking that there's *got* to be an easier way.
If you have any suggestions or clues or know of any docs, faqs, howtos that
might help me out, please let me know.
Much appreciated.
