1.Can't resove IP address to host name

I use FSGetVolumeInfo(), and others, to get a list of mounted volumes.
Work fine, I have the following info for a volume mounted as
"afp://file01", volume "Temp":
 
VolName = Temp
ServerName = 192.168.1.11
ServerAdr = -102
ServerRoot = /Volumes/Temp
FullPath	= /Volumes/Temp/Data/t.txt

The problem is that I cannot find anywhere the mounted volume name
(file01), I get only the IP address. No problem, said I to myself, I
will just use AddressToName() to get the name....urk!... does'nt
work...it throw an exception and to nothing.

I try to use "host" and "dig" on the unix shell, but they wont give me
the hostname either (usenet posts talk about "forwarding",
"authoring", "delegation"...I'm lost).

So is this supposed to work, or is there another way to get the host
name from its IP address?

Here the code sample i use (in a thread):

	UInt32 	Adr;
	LStr255	name1("192.168.1.11");
	LStr255	name2("void");
	
	Adr = 0;
	
	LOpenTptInetMapper openTpt;

	try 
	{
		Adr = openTpt.NameToAddress(name1);  // has to be run in a thread
	} catch(...) 
	{
		Adr = 999;
	}
 // this seems to works Adr=3232235787
	try 
	{
		openTpt.AddressToName(Adr, name2);
	} catch(...) 
	{
		name2 = "\pNo Name";
	}
	
// dont work

Thanks

2.Resolve MAC address to IP address

I need to resolve a MAC address to an IP address.  I 
thought this could be done with the ARP command but was 
unsuccessful in my attempts.  Anyone have any ideas?  
Thanks.

3.Using logical name on the LAN instead of IP address (OSX Leopard)

4.can't resolve host name

Problem:
    I can't resolve LAN computer names from my imac

Context:
    * imac G5 running Tiger with all updates
    * imac is on a LAN with a linksys wrt54G router
    * win2k machine on same LAN
    * Linksys router performs dhcp services

    * my win2k machine uses a setting, "use NetBIOS setting from DHCP
server"
      to enable me to resolve host names (as I can demonstrate with
Ping hostname)

Question:
     What settings do i make on the imac running Tiger to achieve the
same goal (host name resolution)

Thank you !!!!
