RE: [SLUG] Home LAN IP details
Usually each of your PCs will register their hostname with the DHCP server when they ask it for an IP. Your modem/router will probably have a web page (look for status or somesuch) that will reveal the names, IP address and MAC (ethernet) address it knows about. Often they also act as a DNS and as such will also reveal the name to IP address mapping via DNS. You can query this with the command "nslookup . A lot of these router/modems even support WINS (the "old" Windows dynamic name service), you can query this with "nmblookup -U -R ". BTW Almost certainly the IP allocated is not associated with the physical port. Usually allocation is simply out of the next one available in the pool of addresses for DHCP.

ping -b 192.168.1.255 will show you replies from each attached computer on that subnet.

Re: [SLUG] Home LAN IP details
nmap -sP xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24 where the xxx's are your subnet. typically it will be something like 192.168.0.0/24 or 10.1.1.0/24 this is assuming your machines are responding to pings b On Fri, 9 Jul 2004 02:44 pm, bill wrote: > I have a home LAN - 3 PC's networked via an ethernet switch and connected > to the 'Net via a modem/router. > > The PC's IP's are generated by the modem/router via DHCP. > > AS the IP assigned appears to depend on the socket on the ethernet switch > to which the PC is connected, and as each PC is running a different OS or > Linux distro ( some of which are lacking access to basic commands such as > ifconfig), and 1 PC is running without monitor/keyboard/mouse and is > accessed via tightvnc, is there a command or a GUI that will give me the > hostnames and IP's of each PC connected to the LAN? > > I have googled and read many networking/vnc howto's etc with no luck. > > thanks in advance > > BILL -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] Home LAN IP details
your modem/router shoul dbe able to tell you leases or 'arp -a' will tell you what your computer knows about Dean bill wrote: I have a home LAN - 3 PC's networked via an ethernet switch and connected to the 'Net via a modem/router. The PC's IP's are generated by the modem/router via DHCP. AS the IP assigned appears to depend on the socket on the ethernet switch to which the PC is connected, and as each PC is running a different OS or Linux distro ( some of which are lacking access to basic commands such as ifconfig), and 1 PC is running without monitor/keyboard/mouse and is accessed via tightvnc, is there a command or a GUI that will give me the hostnames and IP's of each PC connected to the LAN?

[SLUG] Home LAN IP details
I have a home LAN - 3 PC's networked via an ethernet switch and connected to the 'Net via a modem/router. The PC's IP's are generated by the modem/router via DHCP. AS the IP assigned appears to depend on the socket on the ethernet switch to which the PC is connected, and as each PC is running a different OS or Linux distro ( some of which are lacking access to basic commands such as ifconfig), and 1 PC is running without monitor/keyboard/mouse and is accessed via tightvnc, is there a command or a GUI that will give me the hostnames and IP's of each PC connected to the LAN?
