Well, I have found some tools that will give me a MAC address, but from that, how can I know that machine's IP address. There are at least 20 machines out of the 'official' range of IP's. Some of those are User's personal laptops configured by them to exchange information between their machines, and play some games on the network, without using the company's PC's.
They seem to change the range of IP's they use for that once in a while, and that's why I'm asked to find out a tool that tells me ALL the IP's being used on the network at a given time. Are you understanding what I need?

This is a crapy network, with ~100 machines, and no organization. I have to try to solve the most critical problems, and then build a real network step by step, but I can't start my job because the guy that pays the bills decided that the first thing to be done is find out ALL the machines that are connected to the network. I thought there could be a tool to find out what are the MAC addresses from all the machines currently connected to a LAN, and then, from that list of MAC addresses try to find out what's the IP of each machine. I know there might be some machines that aren't running TCP/IP, but I'll have to consider those as marginal cases. All help is welcome.

Is there any way to achieve this? � Thanks in advance, � Filipe Joel de Almeida � ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
