How to find Ip address of local comps

[russell2002]

Hi,

I have set up a LAN with 10 comps. They are using ICS and I have VNC to control them. But how do I know what comps have what IP addresses after a reboot.

Thanks.

If you use individual computer names in windows, you can often see which computers have what IP on a router that gives out the IPs. Or you could always try a network survey tool, they can be expensive though.
I'm not sure if windows has anything built in that you can do...

assuming your all in the same windows network group, do command:
net view
then ping the computer name, ping will return the ip address

alternatively you can get the windows box name by doing: net view \\<IPAddress>

May be this can Help.

Link to: Using IPCONFIG Command Line Utility, and or Winipcfg (Wntipcfg) GUI Utility to find Local Network Info (IP, MAC, and much more).

Good catch. You could even write a bat file to do this for you, and just ping out 1 packet. You'd get all the IP addresses listed on a single screen possibly.

use look@lan and set it for the subnet you want to discover

Nice, and its free too. I'll have to give this a try heh.

Edit: Very cool little tool. It picked up all the computers in my house almost instantaneously.
