Find network ip addresses

Hi All,
I would like to generate a list of the ip addresses on a network to allow the user to choose 1 or many machines to pass data to, from 1 of the network machines. Data flow will be 115200 bps.
Thanks in advance, Chris

Why 115200 bps? Sounds like a serial port to me but then I don't
understand what you are talking about with network access. Anyhow the
first idea is tricky. There is no simple way to get this information.
Basically TCP/IP is all about knowing both the server and client BEFORE
you make a connection.
The only thing I would see is to create on one system a service which
listens for UDP messages from other applications. All the potential
clients which your user can connect to broadcast UDP announcements about
their
presence when starting up and in regular intervals. The UDP
service collects these messages and maintains a list of those clients.
Your user machine can then query this list, either through an well
configured TCP/IP connection (safe) or also through an UDP query
(unreliable but you don't need to configure the UDP service machines
address) and presents this list to the user.
There are some other issues with this. The list needs to be regularly
cleaned somehow to purge computers not anymore alive. It is additional
overhead to write these services etc.
Another way is if your machine on which you may need to select other
computers stays always the same: Let the clients on startup contact your
well known machine over TCP/IP and have them send a message that they
are alive. Maintain that list in your server application and allow user
machines to connect it to retrieve this cleint list as well.

  • How do I find the IP address of a network Printer

    I have a dell 1320C color netwrk printer connected to a routher with a Cat 5e cable.  I want to find out what the IP address is on the network.  How can my Mac Book Pro auto detect the printer like my Dell laptop used to do?  If it can't auto detect the printer, then how do I find the IP address?

    http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/prn1320c/en/ug/1320c_en/index.htm# ugtop
    "You can also print the printer settings page by the following. Press and hold the Continue button on the printer until the Ready/Data indicator blinks."
    But it appears your printer only works with Microsoft Windows http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/prn1320c/en/ug/1320c_en/section19. htm#1056812

    Network ip address keeps changing and for some reason I can't find the right settings. The diagnostics says to check with my network  administrator,  but idk whom that is being at a motel and all. I have made. New locations, & changed the ipv4 address. Help plz

    Hmmm, is Network set to using DHCP?
    Go to System Preferences
    Click Network
    Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
    Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
    Select your access point and Remove your access point with the minus button.
    Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry.
    Reboot
    Go back to the “By default, join:” page and click the plus this time to add your access point. Enter the correct password, save, reboot.
    Instead of joining your network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed

  • I just purchased my Mac and trying to set it up with my office network.  Need to know how to find the airport address

    How do I find the Airport address on my MAC

    The first time you set up the iPad you must do it by connecting the iPad to a computer, which needs to be running the latest version of iTunes, using the provided USB cable that came with it.  It cannot be done wirelessly initially.

  • HP Deskjet 3050a cannot find network printer

    I need to find out what my IP address is for my printer.  I may have changed it accidently when I was trying to set up my printer to a new router.  I have reset the default settings.  I have tried to go to HP file where it says I can change my IP address and I get the error "cannot find network printer".  I have done all of the obvious deinstall, reinstall, added MAC address to router. Nothing will recognize my printer.  Please help.  Thank you

    Hello again,
    OK, thanks for the updated information.  Try these steps...
    Changing wireless settings
    If you decide to change the wireless network settings for your wireless home network, you will need to configure your wireless printer with the new settings.
    To configure the new wireless settings on a printer that features a Wireless Setup Wizard:
    From the printer’s control panel, open the Wireless Settings menu. Many products provide access to the Wireless Settings by pressing the Wireless Button or touching the Wireless icon on the printer’s control panel. Consult the printer’s help documentation if you do not know how to access the Wireless Settings menu.
    From the Wireless Settings menu select Wireless Setup Wizard. The Wireless Setup Wizard will guide you through the process of configuring your printer with the new wireless settings. Input your Wireless Network Name and Wireless Password when prompted.
    You can print a Wireless Network Test report from the Wireless settings menu to confirm the printer was successfully connected to your network.
    To configure your wireless settings on a printer that does not feature a Wireless Setup Wizard:
    First, make sure your computer is connected to your network. You will also need a USB cable, which is temporarily used during the configuration. Be sure NOT to connect the USB cable between the computer and printer until instructed to do so by the software.
    If your HP printer software is already installed on your computer Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7:
    Use Start -> Programs -> HP -> <your printer model> -> Printer Setup & Software. Windows 8:
    Launch the Printer Software from the Start screen (icon for the printer model name) or from the tile named for your printer.
    Select (click or touch) Utilities on the top of the Printer Software screen
    Select Printer Setup & Software
    Also,
    Link below for some useful information on getting your printer back on the network........Good Luck!

  • WHERE DO I FIND THE IP ADDRESS AND CAN 2 PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ADDRESS?

    MY EMAIL WAS HACKED INTO IN APRIL, I CHANGED PASSWORD, I PUT IN EXTRA SECURITY ON FACEBOOK WHO THEN SENT EMAIL EVERY TIME I SIGNED IN STATING MY SECURITY CODE, TIME, IP ADDRESS AND CITY AND STATE (CEDAR RAPIDS IA AND I AM FROM FAIRHOPE AL). I WAS HACKED INTO AGAIN IN MAY, CHANGED MY PASSWORD AGAIN AND DEACTIVATED MY FACE BOOK ACCT. SO FAR NO MORE HACKING INTO MY EMAIL. I VERIFIED MY IP ADDRESS AND WANT TO KNOW HOW SOMEONE ELSE FROM A DIFFERENT PART OF THE COUNTRY CAN HAVE THE SAME IP ADDRESS.

    You can find the IP address at:  Settings > General > Network tap your network (blue circle with > in it) and voila, your IP address Subnet Mask, Router, DNS, etc. will be listed.

  • How do i find the IP address of my printer?

    I have an HP 7130 all-in-one printer connected to a windows computer that is connected to a wireless router and modem. im using my macbook, which is also wireless to the same modem, and i am trying to set up a printer which requires the IP address of the printer it cannot find on its own. How do i find the IP address of the printer?
    Thanks!

    Hi Gavin,
    Actually it was a typo fault on my behalf. Unfortunately the 7130 will not have an IP address as it doesn't have an Ethernet connection - just USB.
    So, you are either going to have to connect the printer to the Windows computer and print from the Mac via the share or get some other hardware to share the printer. There are a number of wireless print servers on the market which allow you to connect your printer to its USB socket and then print wirelessly from your Windows and Mac computers. Or you could look at replacing the router with an Airport Extreme, which has a USB port for a printer.
    If you want use what you have then connect the printer to the Windows computer and share it. Then on your Mac, open the Printer Setup Utility and click Add. Click More Printers and then Windows Printing > Network Neighborhood. You should see the Workgroup name set in the Windows computer appear. If it doesn't then wait several minutes and try again (sometimes it can take a while before Windows computers appear in this list). Once the workgroup name appears double click it and select the computer from the new menu. At this stage you may be prompted for a user name and password for the Windows computer. Input this information and then the printer share should appear. Select it and then browse for your printer model. Now there is a good chance that your model is not listed under the HP menu so you will have to use one of the provided drivers in the list and see which one works best for your printer. Once you have selected an appropriate model click Add. Now you should be able to print via wireless..

  • Luxadm probe / Could not find the loop address for  the device at physical path

    Using EMC FibreChannel Disks on a Solaris 10
    # luxadm probe
    No Network Array enclosures found in /dev/es
    Error: Could not find the loop address for the device at physical path.
    # echo $?
    255
    Any ideas how to fix?
    Thank,
    Marcel

    Hi Marcel,
    Which Solaris 10 release is this?
    I found a very old bug that says this problem is already fixed in Solaris 10 although the bug description says
    its mostly seen on Solaris 8 and 9.
    https://bug.oraclecorp.com/pls/bug/webbug_print.showbug?c_rptno=15123550
    The bug says that these errors are displayed when StorADE 2.1 is running its rasagent cron job, which executes a luxadm display. 
    This process runs in the background so the user is not aware that another luxadm display process is running.
    Work-around: Do not run Storade rasagent cron job at same time as another luxadm display process.
    I hope this might help to debug this problem but I puzzled why this might be happening if its already fixed.
    Let me know if the workaround helps or so I can follow-up with the right support team.
    Thanks, Cindy

  • Bluetooth "unknown" hardware address showing up as Network Sharing address

    On a brand new out-of-the-box iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) OS 10.7.3, the Bluetooth "unknownxxxxxxxxxxxx" hardware address showing up in Network Sharing preferences as shared name under File Sharing, Remote Login and Remote Management. the first portion is the same as the Bluetooth hardware address for the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Magic Mouse that came with and is connected to this computer. I have an existing Magic Trackpad connected that has a completely different hardware address.
    I have never seen this before, and it does not do this on my iMac (27-inch Late 2009) OS 10.7.3.
    Any ideas? Is this an indication of a potential hardware/networking issue? Would a clean install perhaps clear it up? I would like to know if I should exchange the machine or if it's really nothing.
    Thanks!

    On each of your machines, use
    Applications -> Utilities -> Network Utility -> Info
    and cycle through all the *Network Interfaces* checking the *Hardware Address*, which will be of the form nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn
    and see if it matches 00:0d:93:b0:ef:be.
    You will have to click on the *Network Interfaces* pop-up menu to select alternate interfaces to check their MAC addresses.
    Alternately, you can look in
    System Preferences -> Network
    Select each interface, and click Advanced and look at the Ethernet tab. Repeat for each interface. Actually a lot more clicking.
    Or from Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal use the ifconfig command. It will list all your network interfaces at once. You then have to dig through the output to find the MAC addresses.
    ifconfig
    or
    ifconfig | grep ether
    If you have VMware or Parallels installed it will create a virtual ethernet interface.
    And of course you have an ethernet MAC address as well as an Airport MAC address.
    However, if you have in intruder, change your WAP2 password. That would knock the intruder off the LAN for a little while. If you did that and the address stayed, you could fairly sure that it was one of your systems as only you could get the new WAP2 password to your systems so quickly.
    NOTE: It is not easy to crack WAP2. They would have to do some serious computing and or be very lucky guessing to crack it quickly.

  • WRT54GL Wireless Router says "No Internet Access" or "Cannot find IP Server Address"

    I tried setting up a home network with my above Linksys router and can't connect to the internet now. I have the ethernet cable from my DSL Modem hooked into the ethernet port on the back of the Router. In port one, I have a cable which attaches directly to my laptop as I was advised to use a cable for initial setup of my home wireless network. I was able to get into the router to set all the passphrases and wireless security settings, etc. My ISP is PPPoe and I have entered both the UserId and Password that my ISP provided. However, upon clicking on the wireless icon, my system states I am connected but the status screen shows "No internet access". I have no problem connecting to the Internet when the cable runs from my DSL modem into my computer, so it's something to do with the router blocking it now.
    My ISP does not support my Linksys router, of course, and they tell me I need to contact the manufacturer telling me the router needs to be set up as a 'bridge" ??? There is no mention of anything like this in the manual and I do not know if there is a setting on the router that is somehow blocking my being able to get an internet connection. This is all still with cables attached. Again, I seem to be able to 'connect' to the wireless network but I now cannot get to the Internet thru the router...
    Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?  Thanks!

    Thanks, I did try the step by step instructions and changing the internet type to DHCP but still unable to connect to the internet. Setting back to PPPoE type, the error message now continues to say it "cannot find the IP address of the PPPoE server." I have reset the router back to factory defaults and reset the security and setup settings to no avail. My ISP (Juno), after providing the connection type, login name and password, stated I need to contact the manufacturer of the router and ask that it needs to be set up as a "Bridge".  ??? Does this sound familiar to anyone?
    My modem is a DSL 2Wire. On it's homepage, there is a field called ATM Encapsulation that is set to "Bridged LLC" but I am not touching the settings of my modem for fear of messing up my internet connection altogether. It has to be some setting on the router, is all I can think of. On the Status page of my Linksys router where I try to connect to the internet, once PPPoE is selected, the blank IP address and Subnet Mask settings are zeroes and you cannot enter anything into those fields. (I was going to try entering the address of my modem just to test if that might work...)
    This is very frustrating. Even tried the 30-30-30 solution I read elsewhere worked for someone. Nothing. Same error message. Once I hook the ethernet cable from my modem into my router, I no longer can access the internet because it keeps saying it cannot find the PPPoE IP address.

  • How can I find my MAC address on macbook pro?

    I just bought a new macbook pro with the lion software and can't find my MAC address.

    Did you look under the System Preferences > Network > Airport (or Ethernet) > Advanced
    The Airport ID or Ethernet ID is your MAC address, depending on which one your using.
    You can also use the Terminal

  • Where can I find the MAC Address of a Airport Extreme ?

    Where can I find the MAC Address of a Airport Extreme ?
    I need this to extend the wi fi range in my home. I'm using a Motorola Cable modem and to extend with Airport Extreme, I need to set up inside Motorola the MAC Address of the Airport Extreme.
    Message was edited by: JPA3003

    There are actually 3 MAC Addresses on an AirPort Extreme......1 for Ethernet, 1 for 2.4 GHz wireless and 1 for 5 GHz wireless.
    You can normally see them by using AirPort Utility. The rub here is that the AirPort needs to be setup and working to be accessed by AirPort Utility.
    The other approach is to look on the bottom of the AirPort. The newer AirPorts usually have this information in very small print, so a magnifying glass will probably be required. Other versions embed the numbers in the foam mat.
    Note.....Apple uses proprietary settings for the their wireless "extend" feature.....designed to only allow other Apple devices to connect. So, it is extremely unlikely that the AirPort would be compatible with a 3rd party router if you are trying to use the AirPort to wirelessly extend the network.
    Let us know if you are able to do this.
