How to find IP host Name in cmd?

I want to find the IP address of a hostname that is running on a server in cmd.

How can I find this? I am using windows 10. You can use nslookup with -q option to do what you want. Nslookup -q ServerName. You can also use ipconfig /all (or ipconfig /all /register) to get the IP address. If your machine has multiple IP addresses assigned, you can use ipconfig /all. To assign a static IP address to your computer, open your control panel and click "Network and Internet" then "Change adapter settings". Select the connection that you wish to have static IP and change the "IP address" to the desired value.

The simplest way is to use the ping command. Ping yourHostName. If you get a reply, the machine is up and running. If you don't, there's something wrong.

How to get hostname by IP in Windows cmd?

When I connect to the internet using a mobile device, I can ping the devices IP address and it gives me the corresponding hostname.

When I connect using WiFi to my router, how do I get the hostname of that machine? I know I have to use hostname -i command but how do I use it with windows command line? You can use ifconfig to find the IP address of the device. You can use the hostname -i command as you mentioned.

Hostname -i will return the ip address of the device. If you don't know the ip address of the device you can use the ipconfig command, which shows all the IP addresses of your device.

For example: ipconfig /all will give you a list of all the ip addresses of your device. Then you can use hostname -i to get the hostname of the device.
