Ping all addresses in network, windows

Question

Is it possible in windows cmd line to check all of the network addresses (with ping or similar) to see which ones are taken/ have active devices:

ie. something that does

Answer 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

Hope this helps
