Network Discover

[r1zeek]

I'm looking for some kind of network discovery tool, a tool that scans networks for machines (so scans the IP ranges)

The reason I need it is that the IP addresses (DHCP network) are always changing and i'm not always able to find them back out (without looking at the DHCP table on my router) so i'd like just a little tool that can scan for machines on a network.

All help is greatly appreciated,

A simple port scanner like Netview (http://www.tucows.com/preview/360750.html) will do. It will also allow file shares viewing.

I use a progam called Network Scanner, by Softpert. Its only about 600k in size, and doesn't need to be installed. I have it on my usb drive and can run it straight from there.

Get it here!

Its freeware too...
