Or if it is DHCP, you can check the mac address when it renews it's IP

It is possible, providing that the laptop was online when the scan was done

:   I hope she had insurance!  Anyway without knowing the IP assigned when
it is
:   online, it will be difficult to ping it.  The Univ network can do a
systemwide
:   scan, if they were so motivated, but I would not bet the farm on their
:   willingness to do so.  At least get a report on file with Campus
security
for
:   records sake.

:   What a shame!

:   : Hey guys, my friend had her laptop stolen at her university.  I was
wondering
:   if there was a way to ping the laptop (it has a guest account) or search
it
for
:   its mac address or something like that u know what I mean!
:   :
:   : Or maybe ask the IT department if they can alert us if a computer with
the
:   correct mac address logs into the wifi.
:   :
:   : it's a 2,000 laptop (silly girl)
:   :
:   : PLEASE HELP!  SHE's really depressed!
