      I am looking to see all devices that are currently on my network. I know that I can look up and see the devices that are using DHCP, but i want to see the ones that are not using DHCP. I have some desktops that have local static ip address, and i cant see these.

      Thanks for the help!

            you can port scan every IP and port on your entire subnet also…  But if something is just sitting there, not sending or receiving packets not sure what you can do.

                Don't know what to tell you.  I don't have any invisible clients.

                        Yep - I've used that one also but scanning large IP spaces can take forever!

                          When scanning larger ranges, increase the "Maximum number of threads" option.  It will go faster.

                            I use Advanced IP Scanner for simple, quick scans.

                              Assuming you're on the same layer 2 as the devices you want to find.

                              Install the nmap package (System > Packages)
                              Pick the interface you want (e.g. LAN)
                              Enter the LAN subnet (e.g. 192.168.1.0/24)
                              Pick ARP for the scan type

                              Not much can hide from that.
