how can I find out the IP address of all the computers and printers on a LAN?

Depends if the IP addresses of all the devices are fixed or supplied by a DHCP server. If there is a DHCP server you can get a list of IP addresses from that but you won't necessarily know which indiviadual station has which address. You can find out the IP address of an individual workstation by type in ipconfig /all at a DOS command prompt. Printers usually will output a test page including the ip address. There are some programs out there that will ping everything in sight on your network and give you a list of IP addresses on the network but you still won't necessarily know where they physically are. Best to check individual ip addresses (assuming no DHCP) as part of an asset management audit.

It depends upon your lan setup.
1. If you have active directory, open up DHCP on the server and check the active leases in your scope.
2. If you have a DHCP server (or router that supports this feature) you can do the same thing.
3. There are several third-party software programs that can "ping" all addresses in your scope and return a value for every machine that responds (they have to be turned on).
4. You can manually go to each machine and run "ipconfig" from a command prompt.

Hello!!
Pretty easy, you can download Lan guard and then install it and run a network scanning of your network. You can put, ( jut to said something 10.0.0.0 ) and the scanner will make the scanning over all directions of segment 10.0.0.0 , hope you have a lower IP range, or you can use network masks too.
Hope can help you =)
