[c-nsp] Finding Ip of Stanalone Machine.

[Sam Jacob]

I tried pinging to 255.255.255.255  from windows and it says "Unknown host 255.255.255.255".

Is there any other solution other than using a sniffer.
Regards, 

Sam Jacob

  howdy

  do a x-over connection from u'r pc/laptop and  do a ping to the all 1 broadcast

   ping -b 255.255.255.255          ( from a *nix) machine

  you should be able to get a response back, this is on assumption that the pc will respond to a ping 
  sent to  the broadcast address

    Hi ,

    I ve been asked this question by a colleague of mine.

    Assume that you have a Standalone PC with an IP Address configured and you 
    have no access to this PC.

    How do we find out the IP Address of  this PC if  you are allowed to use its
    network interface and any cable of your choice (Straight or Cross Cable ).
