Message-ID: <871uzmwon0.fsf@newsguy.com> (raw)
There must be a number of people who post here that have had to do
this problem.
Discover the addresses of computers on a home network that have
connected by way of DHCP. For example: Several wireless connections.
I've used static IPS for around 10 yrs, always seemed handier for
things like ssh between home lan computers.
But recently started using DHCP for wireless connections. It must be
such a popular method for some reason.
But when you do it that way, and say want to VNC or ssh or the like to
something connected by a dhcp serving WAP then how do you find the
address?
That is, besides something like accessing the WAP and checking the IPs
connected to it.
Is there some quick and sure way to discover any IPs on the home lan?
Some kind of mapper tool?
