With a closed-end Win 2K network -- is there any way to find out what IP addresses are being given out other than logging in to the DHCP server or running Sniffer Pro?

Can you go to the clients and at the command prompt type:

ipconfig /all

That will tell you their IP addresses.

Well, you could also just run a port scanner on your office LAN subnet. That will resolve IP to machine name. It is a little abrupt, though. Personally, I like SuperScan 3.0.

Something else you could do is add a line to your login scripts that exports out the IP address and machine name (plus user name for fun) to a centralized log file. That could be done by adding this to the login script files:

echo *********** >>mylogfile.txt
echo date /t >>mylogfile.txt
echo ipconfig >> mylogfile.txt
echo User %username% uses computer %computername% with the above IP.

So, that will write a text file with all of that info in it. You could go through the log file and read that days entries.

hope this helps
