Re: HowTo get computer name from IP

[foo name] gives me the name of the service, NOT the name of the computer (and I display in a table view:
- computer name
- service 'state')

and addresses gives me a list of struct sockaddr. (holding IP, and not host name)

still need the friendly computer name.
one I could ping, or use with NSSocketPort as the user is able to edit the list manually to monitor the services running on computer without rendezvous .....

Why don't use you the name attribute of the NSNetService instance?

One of the assumptions about Rendezvous is that it shouldn't matter to the user where a service is located; things like the IP address (and, by extension, hostname) and the port number are abstracted away. The name property is intended to be a human-readable identifier.

I don't know anything about what you're doing, but in the absence of any other information [foo name] (for some NSNetService instance foo) is probably what you ought to use.

I get an IP address (from NSNetServiceBrowswer) of a remote computer.
I try to get a friendly name to display to the user.

I'm using NSHost for that, and didn't deliver me any name !
although I do my test on localhost !

I don't understand, if I 'ping ihookIT.local', (the rendezvous name) it work, even from a remote computer. why NSHost hasn't a clue ?
Anyway could you suggest me an other way to get a host name from an IP ?
