ip address

Hi,how would you go about finding what ip addresses are available and ip's being used on the network. never needed to know until now ,scratching my head on this !!

If you use a DHCP server to manage the IP addresses then you can ask the DHCP server which are available/in use

Depends a lot on how the network is being managed, but the DHCP server should be able to give you a list of which addresses have been allocated and which are in its pool.

I'm assuming you use DHCP to assign IP addresses? If that is the case then you could look through DHCP and see what IP addresses are currently in use.

Edit: Too late!

thanks guys !!
