Is there an option to do a DNS lookup of the IP addresses (assuming your 
  laptop is registered with your works DNS server), or an option to 
gather information by Host name? i'd be suprised if there wasn't. I 
can't seem to find any decent docs, and our linux server is in the 
middle of a hefty file conversion/back up scheme at the minute.
