IP Address Internet Sharing

maklabouhlel · 16 Apr 2016 at 11:12

Hi. I need to find out the ip address of some peripheral computers connected to the ethernet port of my main Windows 7 computer (acting as an internet sharing server and itself receiving internet wirelessly). Since the ip addresses of the peripheral computers are being issued by the pc and not a router, how can I find those addresses from the server pc? Many thanks.

The PC should have a log file somewhere showing what DHCP is dishing out to devices.

From each PC you can use the 'ipconfig /all' command to find its IP.

From the server, a port scanner like nmap will tell you.

"arp -a" will dump the IP addresses on your network, grouped by interface.
