Find all the devices on your network

Not everything with an IP address is a computer – I found none of these suggestions returned all active IP addresses – in fact most returned very few. My home network has a combination of wired and wireless devices and two routers, mobile phones, TV, PVR, Apple AirPort and probably a few things I have forgotten. I used the following to scan all addresses on the 192.168.1.xxx subnet:

for /L %i in (0,1,255) do ping -n 1 -w 250 192.168.1.%i>>ipaddress.txt

The resulting file ipaddress.txt contains the ping results for all addresses and I looked for those with “Received = 1” – currently 16 addresses returned a result – I only have 4 computers in the house – and they were not all on.
