Is there a network utility program I can use to see what computers are locally visible (i.e., they fall within the current netmask)?
nmap is what you're looking for, you may have to install it. It's not there by default, which is sensible. It (can be) a pretty aggressive hackers tool. You want to know what you're doing before you unleash some of it's options, you could get yourself locked out of your ISP or busted by the cyberfuzz. A tightly specified ping scan is safe enough though. nmap -sP 10.5.0.0/24 nmap -sP '10.5.*.*' nmap --help for more. -- Michael James michael.james@csiro.au System Administrator voice: 02 6246 5040 CSIRO Bioinformatics Facility fax: 02 6246 5166
