    Is it possible to resolve an IP address or machine name to show the curently logged on username?
    I have tried a program called PSLOGGEDON but it tells me the remote registry functionality needs to be enabled.
    Basicly I wish to find out the source of malicious netsends sent from a particular machine name which I can resolve into a currently logged in UNAME.
    Preferabaly without interegating the registry.

    On a domain, or not on a domain? OS?

    Ensure that logon events are logged, then run compmgmt.msc, go to Action -> Connect to another computer..., stick in the hostname/ip address of the target machine. Then select System Tools -> Event Viewer -> Security, and have a look at the last few successful logons. A Logon Type 11 is a console/local logon, and is probably the person you're looking for.

    Depending on how your domain is setup (firewall / DNS / Wins etc.) this may work

    nbtstat -a computername
    nbtstat -A 192.168.x.y

    Or have their logon script dump the %username% into %computername%.txt and visa versa
