gheron Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 HiI am a newbie, I am doing IT support and find it difficult to manage all the IP addresses, and was wondering if anybody can point me in the direction of a piece of software, which monitors when each IP address is being used, and was last used etcThere is probably software that does this somewhere but wondered if somebody could suggest th best?

gheron Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 Hi again,just a little bit to add to previous post. The only reason I would like a piece of software like this is because I have been told to find free IP addresses that are not being used anymore on our network because we have run out.CheersP.S Let me know if this is posted in the wrong forum please, any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilifrei64 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 if you are just trying to find open addresses... you can run http://www.foundstone.com/index.htm?subnav...c/superscan.htmduring the busiest hours. one thing you can do to help free up some addresses is to decrease the DHCP Lease time. This will free up a few if you have many poeple constantly on the go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gheron Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 I just started a few months ago, and I do not know why but the company does not use DHCP, we are currently still using static IPs, but think we are upgrading soon. (Mayb why I am being told to find the free address)Cheers, I tried to extract that program but Macafee V8 recognises it as a trojan and port scanner and wont run?

D8TA Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I've used Angry IP scanner, someone recommended this app on this board and it's sweet. Free and you can also obtain hostname, username, etc.You can find it here: http://www.angryziber.com/ipscanI had to download it at home and bring it in because our gatekeeper had blocked this website.
