| Apr 2 at 17:27 | comment | added | jcaron | If dnscache is running on the Windows host, can't one just add 127.0.0.1 to the nslookup command line to tell it to query that server? -- Doesn't seem to be a running on a default Windows install though. | |
| Apr 2 at 16:28 | comment | added | nullromo | @Wastrel thanks for the idea, but I need a machine-agnostic method that works without admin access. And I won't know the IP address, hence the need for nslookup. | |
| Apr 2 at 14:02 | comment | added | Wastrel | I am not a Windows user any more. But I think you can add your device name and IP address to the Windows hosts file and nslookup will find it there. Google 'where is the Windows hosts file' for instructions. | |

| Apr 1 at 20:42 | comment | added | nullromo | Thank you for the helpful information. In this case, it helped me rephrase the question. I have edited the question accordingly. What I really care about in this situation is looking up the IP address of my device from a Windows machine that does not have WSL. | |
