Wireless access point detection

[wesleyw]

I am currently using netstumbler I've found the SSID number I know the password et cetera but I don't know the IP address. Does anyone know of a free piece of software that could help?

you could always reset to defaults or check your arp cache

I'm pretty sure our core switches (HP 4000 / 8000 series) can match the IP address of a device to a known MAC address, and vice-versa. Perhaps yours can do the same and you can get the device's MAC address and look it up? That or connect it to a standalone machine and run a portscan over the entire range it should be on.

Can you hyper terminal into the switch by connecting a laptop to a serial cable etc. The through the console discover what the IP is.

What make / model of WAP is it?

You can do this using arping, I think there are Windows binary available now but you would probably be better using linux here

Cool thanks guys!

Go it up and running now all I've got to do is find out why when it connects I still can't ping a wired computer lol!
