Ping all addresses in network, windows
batch-file, cmd, windows
Solution
Open the Command Prompt and type in the following:
FOR /L %i IN (1,1,254) DO ping -n 1 192.168.10.%i | FIND /i "Reply">>c:\ipaddresses.txt
Change 192.168.10 to match you own network.
By using -n 1 you are asking for only 1 packet to be sent to each computer instead of the usual 4 packets.
The above command will ping all IP Addresses on the 192.168.10.0 network and create a text document in the C:\ drive called ipaddresses.txt. This text document should only contain IP Addresses that replied to the ping request.
Although it will take quite a bit longer to complete, you can also resolve the IP Addresses to HOST names by simply adding -a to the ping command.
FOR /L %i IN (1,1,254) DO ping -a -n 1 192.168.10.%i | FIND /i "Reply">>c:\ipaddresses.txt
This is from Here
Problem
Is it possible in windows cmd line to check all of the network addresses (with ping or similar) to see which ones are taken/ have active devices: ie. something that does something like the following: ``` for i = 0 to 255 ping 192.168.1.i //Print this end ``` This is psuedo code obviously. I am wondering if it is possible to do something like this in windows cmd. It would be great if you didn't need a batch file, but i understand if this is impossible. PS. Also please mention if there is a program to do this, but it would be nice to do it in cmd.
