Windows NT doesn’t provide a command-line tool that would translate a NetBIOS name to an IP address. However, if the target system is up and running, you can use nbtstat to do the translation. Here’s how: nbtstat -a NBT_NAME establishes a connection to the remote system. Then, nbtstat -c displays the IP address.
