or simply nslookup your_ip_address

i.e.

nslookup 65.13.49.250
Note:  nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases.
Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead.  Run nslookup with
the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing.
Server:         192.168.2.9
Address:        192.168.2.9#53

Non-authoritative answer:
250.49.13.65.in-addr.arpa       name = cx267762-j.sctdl1.az.home.com.
