Mmh … there are many ways. I answer another network discovery question, and I write a little getting started.

Some tcpip stacks reply to icmp broadcasts. So you can try a PING to your network broadcast address.

For example, you have ip 192.168.1.1 and subnet 255.255.255.0

  1. ping 192.168.1.255
  2. stop the ping after 5 seconds
  3. watch the devices replies : arp -a

Note : on step 3. you get the lists of the MAC-to-IP cached entries, so there are also the hosts in your subnet you exchange data to in the last minutes, even if they don’t reply to icmp_get.

Note (2) : now I am on linux. I am not sure, but it can be windows doesn’t reply to icmp_get via broadcast.

Is it the only one device attached to your pc ? Is it a router or another simple pc ?
