Well, a quick click on the URL I gave (http://daevid.com/examples/dhcp/) would immediately show you what it was (live on my server), but in a nutshell. I have a home LAN with many computers and other IP enabled devices -- two TiVos, replayTV, Dell Audio Reciever, Zaurus, 8 computers!, three notebooks, etc. (it's a big house!) and I'm an open wifi node. I wanted to know what was on my network easily and in real time, complete with the windows names for the computers. Then I kinda went buck-wild and added icons, custom names, ping/nmap tests, sorting by IP, etc.... Amazingly I couldn't find a tool -- command line or otherwise that did this seemingly simple task. I mean, windows has 'network neighborhood', but that's only good for windows machines or other conforming types.
This comes in very handy for any LAN, but you have to put it on the machine that has the most 'arp' info. This is usually your DHCP server as it also reads the dhcp.leases file to harvest names and lease times. Pretty straight forward setup. Almost none in fact. Edit the .ini file with your mac addresses and icons you want to use (if any). Anyways, it's free and there for you if you want to see/play/use it. d > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris W.
