Using QHostInfo to get host name from an IP

guidupas

Hi all!

I am trying to get the host name from a IP inside my LAN using QHostInfo.

This is my code:
@bool rede::verificaIP(QString ip)
{
info.setAddresses();
QHostInfo info = QHostInfo::fromName(ip);

qDebug() << "IP:" << info.hostName() << info.addresses();

return false;

}@

The ip parameter is 192.168.1.91

But the result is:
IP: "192.168.1.91" (QHostAddress("192.168.1.91") )

The function does not returns the host name

Can anyone help me?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,
you can try to see with wireshark what is the response to your reverse DNS query

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Are you sure that your ip resolve to an host name ?
On windows you can try ping -a 192.168.1.91

You are right, my network is not resolving names. Sorry about that.
