Explanation
NBTSTAT is the command-line tool for displaying NetBIOS over TCP/IP statistics and name tables. The -A switch (uppercase) queries a remote computer using its IP address and returns its NetBIOS name table, which includes the computer's network name. This is exactly what is needed to resolve a list of IP addresses to their network names. The -a switch (lowercase) does the same thing but takes a hostname as input, not an IP address. PING -t sends continuous pings and does not resolve names. NETSTAT -o displays active TCP connections along with their associated process IDs - not network name resolution.
