To All,
>From a router, you can ping the network address and receive a reply from the
local hosts. Example:
I have a router with an ethernet interface addr of 192.168.1.1 /24.
I ping the network address of 192.168.1.0 and received the following reply:
Reply to request 2 from 192.168.1.251, 1 ms
Reply to request 2 from 128.128.2.250, 1 ms
Reply to request 2 from 192.168.1.5, 1 ms
Reply to request 2 from 192.168.1.3, 1 ms
I believe it lists the hosts in the order which they reply. Just a thought!
Kinda a neat trick!
HTH,
