static IP and how to "see" them? 3

[ttcentar]

I`ve set up LAN in one company, and as time goes by, that LAN now has about 70 PC`s. There`s no server in system and all PC`s have static IP addresses. Main reason for networking is to share Internet connection. There is one gatewey set by the ISP with IP 192.168.100.1. Is there any way (command) for reading all asigned IP`s so I don`t have to go to every single PC to read it?

From the DOS prompt you can use:

C:\ FOR /L %i IN (1,1,254) DO ping -n 1 192.168.100.%i | FIND /i "Reply">>c:\ipaddresses.txt

And that will write every responding IP address in the subnet range to C:\ipaddresses.txt

good luck,

JLong

Thank`s everybody, here is another question. Same LAN, and couple of PC`s (XP Pro) want to share internet access but they have classifyed materials that must not be seen by others. What is the best (easyest) way to do this without servers or domain controlers ect. ? Thank`s in advance!

 

[bcastner]

. Don't share the folders containing the material.
. Use NTFS restrictions on the folders
. Use the encryption feature of EFS on the folder contents

I agree with you "bcastner", but they want to access the files on one PC (couple of people works on one document).
I don`t know what is "encription feature of EFS", but i`ll look in to that.This area is rather new to me so I`m sorry if I`m asking stupid questions.Thank`s.

to bcastner,
I`ve followed EFS procedure, added other user certificate, but he still gets "access denied" msg. I`m very close to solution but the links you gave me doesn`t help. If you know what i`m doing wrong please tell me, thank`s.

I`ve followed the instructions on EFS from start, and other user still don`t have access to file.When I click to add "users" i get choice to add user certificate - not user as it says the MS article.I feel I`m doing something wrong but I don`t know what.How can I set "write" permision on specific file for other user?
Sorry if I`m borring you all, but I`m deternined to resolve this! Thanks

Does the user have a password when they logon?
You must.

 

[ttcentar]

Yes, the user logs on to his pc with password.I`v found where to set permissions on shared folder (turned off siple file sharing), but I can`t add computer or user on other computer(field - "From this location" can`t be changed).Just to remind you that other user is on another PC.

 

[bcastner]

Make all the users of Computer B new local users with passwords on Computer A.

Make all the users on Computer A new local users with passwords on Computer B.

In a Simple File sharing - enabled world you would not have to do this.

 

[ttcentar]

I`v turned back on simple file sharing and still have same problem.If I`m not asking too much, would you be willing to write a "step by step" procedure for:
1. encrypting PC1 shared folder "Encrypted".
2. adding other users (PC2, PC3) that can access file "encrypted.txt" stored in folder "Encrypted" in PC1 so that they can open, change or delete that file.
3. settings on PC1,2,3 in case if PC2 change file "encrypted.txt" on PC1, that PC1,2 would be able to access that file and see new changes.

Thank you in advance!!!!!!!!!!!
