Hmmm, Have you looked at GFI's LANguard..? It is a network Security scanner.. This will do what you want and much more. It provides a listing of open ports and services running on the clients. The only downfall is that you must provide a TCP/IP subnet range for it to scan...
If you network is as disastrous as it sounds, then you may not know what IP ranges are being used. If that is the case maybe a TCP sniffer could shed some light on what IPs are on the network. I think that MS makes a network monitor tool that captures this data, but I like to use the TCPdump port for windows. It does require a raw packet driver and can be a pain, but it is an administrators 'must have'.. The network scanner is freeware and can be found here http://www.gfi.com/downloads/downloads.asp?pid=8&vid=1&lid=1 WinPcap raw packet capture library for windows can be found here http://winpcap.polito.it/install/default.htm Windump the TCPdump port for windows can be found here http://windump.polito.it/install/default.htm note: LANguard produces fancy HTML output to dazzle your boss... ;) ~John -----Original Message----- From: Filipe Joel de Almeida [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, April 21, 2002 8:25 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Network discovery > Q: Are all of the hosts that connect to your network Windows NT or > above?

Another problem with the physical inventory, is that this is a factory and I just can't trace all the network cables. I've already have had some surprises, finding computers in places where I would have never thought they would be. I'm here only part of my time, (about 2 days/week) so I don't have the time to look around for ALL the physical computers. Any addicional thoughts on this? Thanks!
