| 48685 | 2002-05-13 11:43:00 | If I were to have a Network with about say 60 or 70 computers (mixture of PCs and Macs), running off a Win 2000 server, is there any way I could look up somewhere on the server to find all the IP addresses of all the computers, so that I can add another device to the network with a unique IP address of its own? Save time from having to go to each computer and look up the IP addresses. Mike. |

I don't know exactly where you would go to get that information, but there must be away. Or if need be you could always ping IP address that would be available in the network and when you find one with no relply. You could use that IP address. JM |

| 48688 | 2002-05-13 12:34:00 | With that number of machines, use DHCP to avoid the headaches you are know experiencing | Guest (0) | ||
| 48689 | 2002-05-13 12:38:00 | Further, the only time that static IP addresses need to be used are for servers. Also, at the risk of offending, have you considered being trained to administer a Windows 2000 network? |

This will also show any reservations or exclusions to the DHCP scope. You can also check the DNS console as Windows 2000 can use Dynamic DNS if configured to do so. Finally, if you have WINS clients on your network then you may also be using the WINS server service in which case, you got it, check the WINS console to see what WINS registrations have been made. If you are not using at least DNS and DHCP then whoever setup your network should be taken out and shot. Incidentally, it is *very* likely that your Win 2000 Server is running as a Domain Controller, and hence will be using Active Directory, which *cannot* be configured without a DNS server on the network. | Guest (0) | ||
