How to list all computers in a windows wi-fi network?
A wi-fi router has been setup with a number of windows machines connecting to it. How do I use windows command line to list all the computers (either by hostname or ipaddress) in the wi-fi network. OSs on the network are XP, Vista and 7.
I have used following procedure:
- Open Run (⊞ Win+R)
- Type
cmd
and click OK. - Ping the server if you know or your gateway. Even if there is requested timed out.
- Type the command
arp -a
. - It will usually list down all the IP's and Computers with their Mac Addresses.
If you want to use a GUI tool. I recommend IPScan. Although it is a light application (433KB), it is freeware that's always worked for me.
You can also use another GUI Tool, Advance IP Scanner.
net view
will probably show most of them.
