I'd like to query my LAN to determine which IP address is assigned to
which device.

Thanks for any hints!

I use an application called Omniping from www.manasoft.com
which I've found very usefull.

This used to be freeware but I'm not sure what it is now.

I a far from a networking genious, but if you are on a LAN, that means
you most likely have a router and your router will give you that info.

Am I missing something?

I'm sure there are smaller, simplier ways, but I have used GFI LANguard a
few times and it does much more than report IP's. It is a commercial
product that after 30 days "downgrades" to a freeware version. I don't know
for sure what becomes disabled or not available after 30 days. All I know
is, after 30 days it still functions as a network scanner reporting all
kinds of stuff about each machine (IP included) :) Some of it I'm not even
sure what it's reporting :P

Worth a look though if you're interested.

I'm not sure. I have 3 machines connected through a hub (ethernet) and I've
always called the setup a "LAN". Maybe that's not the proper definition. I
don't know. Anyway, I'm not using a router. Ethernet hub = poor mans LAN
w/router. :)) maybe.

The LAN geeks I know call that a workgroup, but they are a fickle bunch.
A LAN to them (and I don't understand why) indicates connection
together including an internet connection.

When I looked them up, workgroup and LAN seemed synonymous. Since that
is the case then a router is not needed and the other suggestions
should work fine.

I learn more every day...
