How to detect device connected to Ethernet

[AlexRock]

Hi,

How do I detect devices connected to Ethernet using LabVIEW.

My requirement is:

I need to detect all devices connected to ethernet in my network.Need to list down all IP of the devices.

Can anyone help me in this...

Yup, I created a IP scanner once in LV. its was not the fastest...but.. it worked and did its job - can probably think of better methods now. think I used standard command prompt commands and parsed the reply, got also the MAC adress of the connected devices I believe. Can post the block diagram code tomorrow if I find it in my library (was a long time ago) and you still need it.

Found it. However its written a long time ago when I still created spagetti diagrams that give you eye diarrhea, and its bad coding. If someone should use it and cleans it up, please post the cleaned up version 🙂

It uses the arp command. prob. other ways to solve this too
