Get DHCP clients list connected to DHCP allocator on WEC7

Hi All,
I Configured WEC7 Device as DHCP Allocator and is working fine. 
I am able to see the connected DHCP clients information in Registry under ConnectionSharing/Addresses.
But for my application development I don't want to read the registry all the time to get updates of connected clients.
Are there any other options (API) available to read connected clients info (IP, MAC, Client Name etc).
And if i can register to some services for client connection status change notifications would be better.
Do you suggest any better ways to get clients info other than reading registry?
Thanks in Advance.

Thanks Bruce,
Yes I can use your recommendation for getting clients list.
Do you recommend any third party DHCP server apps for WEC7 as I am getting some problems with DHCP allocator.
as mentioned here:

2. also DHCP allocator will stops once it finds a real DHCP Server on the network as per MS documents.

  • E4200v2 - DHCP client list NEVER displays

    As the most expensive and hyped "consumer router" at the local big-box stores, and after already returning a Netgear N600 that appeared to be defective, I had high hopes that this router would work properly and I could stop fooling with router settings and move on to real work. And I'll acknowledge that for a lot of folks this router will probably be fine. I didn't do any speed measurements or methodical testing, but it seems pretty fast and using it for more than three weeks it seemed reliable. However, it had several issues that were maddening and ultimately for me, unacceptable. Summarized as follows:
    > The DHCP client list NEVER displays all the clients connected on my network, no matter how many times I look. These clients are actively transferring data, and I can download free programs from the web that report all clients reliably. Why is this so difficult??
    > The logging feature is ridiculous - it often didn't log events that I knew had occurred, and even when they were shown, you would only see an entry if you checked the log very quickly after the event (some sort of "auto-flush" function that makes the whole feature pretty useless).
    > The previous issues are annoying - but this was the deal-breaker. I could not connect to an OpenVPN device on my network through this router. I could connect to the device locally, I could connect to other devices remotely through other forwarded ports, and I could see in the log (if I looked quickly enough) that the router was seeing the connection attempt to the OpenVPN device, but it was getting blocked. Many hours searching forums and experimenting with router settings / firmware updates did not help.
    > In the pursuit of resolving the third issue, and with very low expectations, I contacted Linksys tech support. This proved to be a complete waste of time. After working through the front-line guy who only knew how to look through the User's Guide, I was connected to another person who was even more clueless and was almost robotic in his hard-coded sequence of attempts to guide me through silly procedures that had absolutely nothing to do with my problem. After again asking if I could speak to someone that might actually understand the issue I was put on hold for more than 20 minutes, at which point the call was disconnected (I think this means they hung up on me).
    So once again I'm returning an expensive router that doesn't work properly and will be trying something else. It shouldn't be this difficult.

    With reference to your post I would like to know that does all the client devices on your network runs on DHCP or some of them have static IP address as well? The devices which are running on static IP address will not be displayed in the DHCP client table.
    Regarding the logs that are not being created on the router for any event that takes place could be because of the reason that you might be using another router or a gateway before your linksys router.
    As far as your VPN issue is concerned please try to disable the firewall of the router and then try to connect to the open VPN device because this router acts like a VPN passthrough. Click on the following link to know how to disable the router's firewall http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=87795adab27b4bd7a432e03be4e28e8d_17347.xml&pid=80&...

  • MacBook pro and iPhone 3g dont show up in router's dhcp client list.

    All of my devices except my MacBook pro and iPhone 3g showup in me dhcp client list. firewall is off on both, router as well as MacBook. what could be the reason.

    yes… they do get IPs and since Monday they are on fixed IPs for ISP requirements. All services work fine except downloading from my ISP's Direct Connec Hub. People can download from my machine though. I guess something to do with OS X not being recognized in the dhcp client list. Interestingly windows on my bootcamp does get recognized.
    If your devices are connected to your router then they should not have fixed ip addresses assigned by your ISP or by you. They should be set to get their addresses via dhcp from your router. If they have fixed ip addresses this is why they don't show up in the router's dhcp list, the router did not assign them dhcp addresses.

  • DHCP client list missing devices.

    I just bought a TC and is setup as my router. I have a pc connected to one of the ethernet ports in the TC, and it works fine. My problem is that the other peripherals connected to the other two ports on the TC are not working. One of he is a printer and the other is an X-Box console. In the DHCP client list I only see the pc listed.
    Does anyone knows why I can only see the pc and not the other two devices on the DHCP list?

    That is true, every other router I have used shows all of the DHCP clients. But reading the Apple documentation it is not clear that this is true for the AEBS. See "Designing AirPort Networks Using AirPort Utility (Mac + PC)" (direct PDF link).
    Page 57 has the following somewhat ambiguous statement "If you click “Logs and Statistics” you can view and export base station logs, and view wireless client and DHCP client information."

  • DHCP Client List on Extremes

    Can someone verify that the new square Extreme router does provide a DHCP Client List whereas the old dome Extreme does not? This seems so basic, really surprised if true.
    Tried IPScanner, appears to provide a list of devices that respond to Bonjour, helpful, but not a real list of all devices getting addresses from DHCP, didn't even show my Windows computers.

    I suggest updating to the newer AirPort Utility as it will still administer the older 802.11g base stations. You can get a copy for Tiger here: AirPort Utility 5.3.2 Tiger

  • DHCP client list

    Hello,
    I recently set up my Mac Pro to act as a gateway and the setup has a AEBS acting as a bridge to all the other clients (dont want to buy a extra switch). I just wanted to check to see if the AEBS is the reason why my DHCP client list on the server only shows the AEBS and not other clients, wireless or wired. Is there a way to fix this issue without going to a switch? All connections on the AEBS is on the LAN side and the WAN side not plugged into anything.
    Thanks!

    Greg,
    Not that I know of.
    I made a cheat sheet with a list of my computers and wifi gear using the last 2 digits only.
    1. My Mac = 09
    2. Wifes Mac = D3
    3. Printer = 37
    etc., etc.....

  • Acces dhcp client list remote

    Dear forum
    I would like to keep an eye on my wireless network. I know this is possible from the airport util. by looking at the dhcp client list. however i would like to do this remote as well - while i'm at work or similar.
    So far the only way i can think of is to have a computer online at home with remote desktop activated - and then accessing the remote computer from work and through it look at the router.
    BUT is there any way to get access to the router direcly from my work?

    If you look at the AirPort Utility Advanced panel, Logging & Statistics tab, you'll see a setting for "Allow SNMP over WAN". SNMP is "Simple Network Management Protocol". That's supposed to enable the type of thing you want to do. Beyond that I can't help you, as I've never worked with SNMP software.

  • DHCP Client List doesn't list VPN Users - 10.5.4

    Hello,
    When I had Tiger 10.4.11 running, it would usually list every DHCP client on the system. Including those outside the subnet in the VPN range. Now that we are running Leopard Server 10.5.4, client no longer appear in the DHCP client list under server manager.
    Thus;
    DHCP range; 192.168.2.1 - 192.168.2.147 - subnet- 255.255.255.0
    VPN range; 192.168.2.148 - 192.168.2.255
    I noticed I had to change DHCP clientIDs and change the printer machine names to get them to show up in the DHCP client list.
    Even if I modify the DHCP client ID on the VPN users machines and change the machine name, I still can't get anything to show up.
    Does the DHCP client list no longer list the VPN users?
    Thanks!
    ATF

    Hello,
    An additional note. When I VPN into the server, I no longer can access the clients via ARD like I used to under Tiger.
    Seems to gel that if the DHCP server and can see local clients over the gigabit network, but can't see the VPN clients that I also can't see the internal clients via VPN.
    AGGGH.
    Suggestions?

  • WRT 160 N Router, DHCP client list has no clients

        In the DHCP client list under status there are no computers listed. And under the DHCP reservation list it only lists one when I refresh? I've update firmware and refreshed and even rebooted router several times.

    Do you have static IP addresses assigned on all workstations? In that case the DHCP client table might be empty.

  • About my Dynamic DHCP Client List

    In my eH100 Network settings under Dynamic DHCP Client List it shows two hosts. My MAC address with no name and another MAC address with a name. Does that mean someone is using access through my router. Now it's only showing one host.

    What is a EH100? A DSL or cable modem or router with wireless capability? IF so, it is likely that somebody is "fare-jumping" wirelessly onto your network, if you have no security set up on your wireless.
    IF you currently are an open network, I would recommend a combination of configuring your wireless access point with WPA-PSK security plus MAC authentication. (I hear there is a better one than WPA, which is itself better than WEP, but neither my computers nor modem support any better than WPA). On my ActionTec DSL modem/router/WAP, this is set in Advanced Settings under wireless settings (to specify WPA) and a clearly labeled MAC authentication link for the MAC address list. For MAC authentication, manually add hardware ethernet addresses as found in each authorized computer's system preferences > network > Airport or Built-in Ethernet as Airport ID or Ethernet ID given in the form of xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx), depending on how they will be accessing your WAP/router/modem.
    FWIW, this actually would have probably been more fitting to post over in the networking forum.

  • Getting Wireless client list in WRT54G?

    On one of the other sites Isaw a post showing a URL you could use to get a WRT54G to lsit the currently connected wireless clients. unfortunately this URL did not work on my v5. The DHCP client list is useless because I host my DHCP server elsewhere and don't use the internal server.
    Does anyone know how to tickle a WRT54Gv5 into giving up the wireless client list?
    Thanks In Advance,
    Mark

    The wireless client list is available in the WRT54G v5+.   The URL is http://192.168.1.1/WClient.htm
    The button to display the table is hidden until Wireless MAC Filter is ENABLED on the /Wireless/Wireless MAC Filter page.

  • Macbook Pro showing old name in DHCP Client List

    When I originally set up my macbook pro, I gave it a name, we will say 'X'.  Since then, I've changed the name to 'Y', however whenever I connect to a wireless access point, if I login to the access point and list the clients, it shows 'X' as my host name.  What I have tried:
    System Preferences->Sharing and entered the new computers name
    Sysem Preferences->Network->Wi-Fi, clicked Advanced and set a Client ID under TCP/IP as well as changed my Netbios name under WINS
    I'm at a loss as to why 'X' keeps showing up as the client ID on wireless access points after I've changed it on the system.  There must be another location where that is stored.
    Short of doing a full file scan for 'X', does anyone have any idea where else I can look and change this on the macbook pro?
    Thanks!

    Power cycle your dhcp server (router). The dhcp protocol retains ip address and computer information for reassignment to the same device whenever possible. Force the router dhcp router to reconnect and reissue a dhcp address by power cycling the router.

  • WRT54G v7 - DHCP Client List problem

    Hi all,
    I have the WRT54G v.7 - firmware ver.7.00.8.
    erroneously i removed the wrong PC from the DHCP Client Table. /Status/Local Network
    How i can restore the list adding back the pc to the list, as there is only he option to remove/delete?
    One more question,
    how many wireless clients/pcs can the router manage without any problem? ...
    I noticed that when we are in 3 or 4 wireless clients the connection is very unstable, slow response, connection drops.
    Is there anything i can do to improve this matter?
    Ty for any tip,
    Frluga
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Reboot your computer and it will receive a new IP address from the router.

  • DHCP client list empty on WRT310N

    This has happened all 3 times I reset my router to default settings.  I see the list of clients, no problem.  However, when I adjust the QoS for my desktop's MAC address, the client list empties, and from that point on, it stays empty, although 3+ clients are connected.  Removing any QoS settings won't alleviate my problem, either.  I have to reset to factory defaults again. 

    Have you tried to upgrade the firmware of your Linksys Router. If not then Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.. .......insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop...
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
    In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

  • Can't get AE clients to connect to internet-Plz help me!

    I've had a home with router, wired mac's and pc's, and apple laptops for years with no problems. I removed old router and installed AE base station. I can connect to the Base Station via internet and wireless, but can't get past it to the net. I'm out of ideas.
    My DSL modem from Sprint is a Prestige 660ME-61, with an address of 192.168.2.1. My "test" G5 desktop has an IP address of 192.168.1.23, subnet 255.255.255.0 and Router ip of 192.168.1.254 - as shown in system pref/network/built in ethernet configuration. This works fine with old pbx/router. I tried looking at my PBX/router settings and they use different terminology.
    The AE auto setup didn't work, and I noticed it had set an ip address of 10.0.1.1 for the Base Station. I changed that to 192.168.1.x in the manual setup mode of DHCP. That generated starting and ending addresses of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.200. On the Internet Connection tab, it shows IP address of 192.168.2.2, Router address of 192.168.2.254, and the DNS address from Sprint. With these paramters, I get something like "no connection to the internet" when I try to connect.
    It seemed to me that I should set the router to be on the same 192.168.1.x addresses that DHCP is handing out, but when I try to change the Rounter Address to 192.168.1.254, I get a message saying that rounter address is not compatible with the lan address..
    I'v worked with computers and networking for a long, long time, but I am at wits end - maybe it was the chemo! I would very much appreciate some very smart person telling me which simple setting to change to make it work! And yes, the DSL modem is plugged into the WAN port on the AE. Some of you might wonder how I'm sending this. The answer is I went back to my pre-AE configuration.
    Thanks in advance!
    Randy

    Did you happen to allow enough time for a power recycle when switching the router connected to your DSL modem?
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling
    - Power-off the DSL/Cable modem, Internet Router, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    - Power-on the DSL/Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
    - Power-on the Internet Router; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    - Power-on the computer(s)
