DNS check

[Brian Weaver]

Anyone know if there is a command like nslookup in the 4690?

Most of the networking information is in netstat, but I don't recall a name server or dns resolver function in there.... 

A simple python script can get this for you, assuming the DNS servers are defined.

Script:

     import socket

     unkwn_host = raw_input('What is the IP address to look up? ')

     try:

     fnd_host = socket.gethostbyaddr(unkwn_host)

           print '\n' + unkwn_host + ' = ' + fnd_host[0]

     except socket.herror:

     print 'Host not found.'

     except:

             print 'Input out of range'

Output looks like:
