Explanation
nslookup (Name Server Lookup) is a command-line tool used to query DNS servers to resolve hostnames to IP addresses and vice versa. It is the correct tool for translating a workstation name to an IP address. ifconfig (Linux/Mac) and ipconfig (Windows) display local network interface configuration. netstat displays active network connections and port statistics - none of these perform DNS name resolution.
