Ping all addresses in network, windows

Solution 1:

Open the Command Prompt and type in the following:

FOR /L %i IN (1,1,254) DO ping -n 1 192.168.10.%i | FIND /i "Reply">>c:\ipaddresses.txt

Change 192.168.10 to match you own network.

By using -n 1 you are asking for only 1 packet to be sent to each computer instead of the usual 4 packets.

The above command will ping all IP Addresses on the 192.168.10.0 network and create a text document in the C:\ drive called ipaddresses.txt. This text document should only contain IP Addresses that replied to the ping request.

Although it will take quite a bit longer to complete, you can also resolve the IP Addresses to HOST names by simply adding -a to the ping command.

FOR /L %i IN (1,1,254) DO ping -a -n 1 192.168.10.%i | FIND /i "Reply">>c:\ipaddresses.txt

This is from Here

Hope this helps

Solution 2:

I know this is a late response, but a neat way of doing this is to ping the broadcast address which populates your local arp cache.

This can then be shown by running arp -a which will list all the addresses in you local arp table.

ping 192.168.1.255
arp -a

Hopefully this is a nice neat option that people can use.
