I want to know IP Addresses of all machines on a peer to peer network. How can i do this ? The network consists of Win 9x machines and there is no DNS server.

There a couple of methods you could use to do this, but nothing easy... First, you could ping a range of IP addresses to get a list of machines that respond, then you would have to port scan each of those responding addresses to figure out what kind of machine is at that address... Second, you could write a client that you deploy to all of your machines that reports back to a central server and reports the address in use... But why go through all that trouble when you could download a good IP/Port scanning tool to do that for you or... If your network is using DHCP to assign addresses, look at the logs/database for the DHCP server to see what addresses have been handed out... RageInTheMachine9532
