Guides and Info Unused IP Address's, how do I find?

Want to know what IP address's are on your network??

here is a little command you can run from the command promt.

it will ping all IP's in your subnet to see if there is a reply and save it to a txt file in root.

FOR /L %i IN (1,1,254) DO ping -a -n 1 192.168.0.%i | FIND /i "Reply">>c:\ipaddresses.txt

have fun, can be very useful!
Well depends if you're running a static or DHCP Network. Because technically you're router would tell you what addresses are being used and which ones are not.
I use DHCP reservations in my network so I know what IP address all the devices are assigned and I leverage that functionality inside my router. This way all the products can still have DHCP support without me having to statically assign them. But it also keeps a table for me in case I forget what their IP address is. And if I need to move the product to another network, at least it's not a sign of static IP address that might create this certain level of difficulty
