how can i find ip addresses of all devices connected to the same wifi network as me?

Question

i want to get the ip address of another computer connected to the same wifi network as me. how can i do this? (preferably using cmd)

Answer 1

The number of network bits in most cases remains the same, only the host bits change. This means that your IP address's first 24 bits and your network's first 24 bits will match in general.

For example-

Your IP address : 192.168.1.15
Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1

So you can ping all the other sequence in the range manually and see if you get a reply to check whether it is connected to your network.

This could be a naive approach and I shared the information for fun.

You can also use- 'net view' in cmd to see the users connected to your network.

Answer 2

julia I would have but as rightly said by Martin Taylor all devices might not respond to ping requests. Also what he suggested at the beginning seems to be the easiest way.

Answer 3

Avinesh thank you very much for your answer! however, could you explain it in more detail? and unfortunately 'net view' doesn't work on my device because it requires an older protocol which is no longer installed in window 10.
