Yeah, nmap works well in linux. Arp will get you local Mac addresses. This free program works for Windows that I recently discovered from another redditor: http://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/
For work, I bring our networking gear to other sites so I (personally) developed a mobile mapper for android Ping Ping Ping
Download Advanced IP Scanner
Little program, does a ping to every IP address in the range you specify (like 192.168.1.1-254), and returns results with the IPs that responded, the MAC address, the manufacturer name, and if the device has its own webserver for configuration you see the title of the page and a link to it.
Just make a list, look it over and see if anything is missing, then start doing it one at a time checking them off. From the top down (router, firewall, managed switches, network appliances, etc first, then PCs and devices).

Depending on your infrastructure, you could use that handy little utility to check in real time what was changed and what was not changed. This will also let you avoid missing copier, printers, scanners, and other odds and ends that have static IPs in your facility (maybe some remote PoE managed switch you otherwise would have overlooked). Great time to set up VLANs as well. Or, at the very least, devote ranges to departments or device types so it's simpler for the next guy to add/remove IPs.
Try using Advanced IP Scanner or some similar program to check the broadcast MAC address of the Wii during gameplay. You can find the MAC for the wireless and LAN adapters on the Wii in the System Menu settings. this thread seems to imply that it's direct emulation using the Wii hardware. Another option might be to try networking two Dolphin setups if you have a second machine to do it, to ensure there's no connectivity issues on your network. Disable all firewalls, etc.
I really like advanced IP scanner - http://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/ I would use it to find all your switch IP's - you may need to run it from different segments - but you don't need to install it.
Wireless access point. It probably needs to be configured. Should have a default button on it then scan your network for an unknown device. IP Scanner
Should be able to identify from web interface after that and get instructions.
I wish I had a better idea. Most new routers (including/especially the ones provided by the ISP) I've seen these days come with a *randomly (I assume it's based on the MAC somehow; I've never actually looked that up) generated password/SSID, so that's extremely unlikely to happen. (As opposed to the common "Linksys" default SSID on routers made by the same with no password for many years)
You may want to do a network probe/scan just to see what's ON the network you're connected to. I've always liked http://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/ but there are quite a few free tools that'll do the same thing, including things like Fing on Android devices. I'm not really sure what else to suggest, besides trying to confirm your network layout.
There are lots of options, but this one is free and simple:

I would not worry about it, thiugh. It has circuitry in place which cuts out I'm case there is a problem anyway.
>Sorry what do you mean? You are saying because I unplugged it from my room I should have to reimage the entire pi to have it reboot again?
Yes.
>Also I have been using this program here because my router is an Apple Airport Extreme so I do not think it has a webpage rather I have to use the app. And I find it very confusing to navigate around when compared to my old Linksys.
Ok, do that. Just wait a loooooong time before looking for the pi.
I think it's likely that the printer didn't have a fixed IP, and when it reconnected to the network it got a new (different) IP address from DHCP.
If the printer's networked, do you know how to use something like advanced ip scanner to find the IP address it's at?
If you can do that, you can change the printer's "port" to the IP address you find, or remove it and reinstall it using that IP.
To what end, exactly? Are you just trying to locate an individual computer and wake it for remote access? Or something more?
It might be sort of ghetto-fab for your needs, but I just use Advanced IP Scanner which allows me to scan a range (and save/load them for later use) and right click and send a WOL command (among other things like initiate an RDP session, remote shutdown, or detect active HTTP services and pull up said services in browser with a simple double click.
Good explanations above, one tip to add from me:
If they're as low budget as you say, I don't expect them to have rolled out interconnected subnets for every location; more doubtful that they were using an msp up to this point.
Still, I like to get ultra-basic in big, new spaces. Get advanced ip scanner, or whatever you like to use, and check the hot addresses against DHCP reserve. Look at every. single. one. Then look at the ones outside that range too. Figure out what they are. Hopefully you can see everything from home base.
No end to stories I can tell about someone forgetting to doc or mention some hardware or vm that plays some important role.
Though, my fave is a CEO with a secret wifi unit under his desk that was trying to hand out IPs...for 18 months before I got there and became their tribal god for figuring it out.
It was just a quick IP scan using Advanced IP scanner (http://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/)
I agree in that I think it must be an ACL. The odd thing is that my VPN server used to be in the 10.0.2.x range and I could access the NAS just fine when I connected through that.
I am assuming that you are using Windows Server for DHCP and Managed switches like Cisco with a CLI for your switching fabric.
-Login to your DHCP server and find the MAC address of the server. If you don't know the name of the server you can run somthing like Advanced IP Scanner to scan the network and find the host listed as "VMware" or whatever that host is. http://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/
-Once you have the MAC address of the host, login to your switch and get a list of the MAC address table. On Cisco, HP, Dell the command will be something like "Show Mac-Address". Scroll through the list till you find your MAC address, it should also list what port the MAC is talking on.
-Now that you know the port, check what port on the switch the patch cable connects to. This should lead you to the data drop of the office/computer the VM is running on.
It does not seem that arp table would be your first choice. A simple tool that everybody can use and that we have used for a long time is. http://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/ We still use a very old and simple version so I cannot say how the newer versions behave but it does exactly what you need with a few mouse clicks.
Could also log into your router and see what devices are connected... On Windows, I use something called Advanced IP Scanner (http://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/) which is free, quick and pretty handy!

Giving it a shot now! Thanks! Looks like free is limited to 255 address scanning. We're a /22. I'll see if it lets me do two separate scans.. EDIT Found this http://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/ seems to do the same thing... smaller package. EDIT Scanned, won't find my MAC's. Oh where or where has my little server gone... Something with Windows Networking and the Virtual Switch HyperV must be amuk as the HyperV guests that ARE on do work..
Is it a network drive on a PC or a standalone networked drive, i didn't find it to be that clear. And is it at home on the same network or is it else where, how many drives is it ect. If its a standalone networked drive (Nas) tell us the make and model
Run http://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/index1.php?utm_expid=62919999-18.a8Zjs2-zTDW3NGIaWFELHA.1&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.co.uk%2F and get the Ip address for the device that has this network drive
Once you have the IP address try and ping it from CMD and tell us results, also go to file explorer on another Pc and type //(Ip address) example //192.168.1.25 and tell us what messages you get.
Use this- http://www.routerdefaults.org/tp-link/tl-r470t-plus
If that doesn't work, make sure your router is connected to your network and use http://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/index1.php?utm_expid=62919999-18.a8Zjs2-zTDW3NGIaWFELHA.1&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.co.uk%2F find your routers IP address and then just copy it into the browser, P/w and Username = admin/admin or will be on the router its self.
If you still cant get it to work, Ping its IP from CMD and tell us the results, also tell us what happens when you try and browse to it.
you could always try plugging directly into your router, it doesn't appear that you need wifi. It just requires a network connection because they want you to download and install retrogame. Otherwise download an ipscanner that will show you the ip of devices connected to your network.
