| 1336379 | 2013-04-11 02:47:00 | Getting Network Centre to show IP addresses is like getting blood out of a stone. Is there third party software that can present a list of ip addresses? preferably alongside the MAC addresses so I can identify the device Ipconfig only listed this computer and the gateway. I managed to get the TV's address by double clicking on (something). But not a hint of the existence of my video capture device. I eventually got its address by trawling through an old Windows backup VHD. Filezilla immediately connected. Why couldn't Windows find it!! The addresses are all 192.168.x.x (The real problem is that I never remember to backup Filezilla's recent-servers list before doing a re-install of Windows) |

| 1336382 | 2013-04-11 05:42:00 | 'arp-a' will show a list of the IP and MAC for machines that are currently known. That's exactly what I was looking for! arp -a I note that it shows the device I was looking for but ipconfig /all still does not (although Filezilla is currently downloading from that address!) Thanks |

| 1336385 | 2013-04-12 07:02:00 | Thanks. I installed Fing on my tablet and it looks like it will be quite useful I does have a few quirks though: - it mis-identified my phone and tablet, putting the phone symbol and 'My Phone' next to the tablet listing - at the far end of my wireless bridge - which currently has 3 devices attached incl TV - it gives the lowest IP address and puts (+2) after it. If I remove all the devices except one I can eventually get all the IPs - regardless of the device reported on the far end of the bridge it gives the same MAC address which I presume is that of the bridge itself. (It is certainly not that of the TV when it is the only device connected). I would have thought that if it knew there were (+2) extra addresses it would know better - refreshing Fing after turning off a device seems to be a bit hit-or-miss. Need to refresh several times I now have more respect for Windows because it clearly identified the TV via the bridge. The TV is a Sony bought in 2010 - the other devices are older (Network is a router wired to a Netcomm NP121 wireless bridge. The WAN side of the bridge is the only access point - the AP in the router and the AP in the far end of the bridge have been disabled) |
