Finding env:\computername through IP address of a remote computer on the network

$

I am a beginner in Powershell and as my internship project, I have to write a script for hardware/software inventory of the systems on the network.
The issue which I am not able to resolve is that instead of having the names of all the computers in the text file computer.txt as mentioned by you, I have a text file having the IP Addresses of all the systems on the network.
In most of the scripts that I have come across, the code is
"
$name = (Get-Item env:\Computername).Value

"

Now, when I am tweaking my script accordingly, the $name only returns the value of the system I am working on (localhost).

Please help me with this. How can I use IP Addresses to gather information of the systems.

PS - I am attaching a small code of how I have been proceeding below. And the text file containing the ip addresses

$arrComputers = get-Content -Path "D:\Work\computerlist.txt"

foreach ($strComputer in $arrComputers)
{
    
    $name=(get-item env:\computername).value
    $ipadd=([system.net.dns]::gethostaddresses($strComputer))
    $hostname=([system.net.dns]::gethostentry($ip)).hostname  
    $network = Get-WmiObject -class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -ComputerName $name -Authentication PacketPrivacy -Impersonation Impersonate
    
    foreach ($objItem in $network)
    {
        
        Write-host "======== info starts here ======================= "
        Write-host "IP Address:" $ipadd
        Write-host "Host Name: " $hostname
        Write-host "MAC Address : " ($objItem).MACAddress
        Write-host "DNS Domain : " ($objItem).DNSDomain
       Write-host "========  info ends here ======================="
    }
}
        

 computerlist.txt file contain addresses as follows:

10.208.35.7
10.208.35.9
10.208.35.10
10.208.35.12
10.208.35.13
10.208.35.16
10.208.35.17
10.208.35.25
10.208.35.36
10.208.35.37

Please provide me with a solution

Thanks.
