DESCRIPTION
IP Scanner displays the machine names, users & IP numbers of Macintosh users on your local network. It also detects some non-Macintosh devices, and in many cases can even identify the manufacturer of the device. Best of all, it is FREE for individual users on home networks.

IP Scanner uses Bonjour (the technology formerly known as Rendezvous) to collect realtime user information as well as IP data from Macintosh machines on a local area network and sorts everything in tidy columns, each machine's IP number displayed next to its name (along with the current username of the person logged in to that machine). For small network admins, this means no more shouting around the office to find out who has which IP or, conversely, who is sitting at which workstation in a fixed IP network.

    KZX72  What's the difference between this and version 1.7 ?

    I don't see any major changes...  (Version 2.0b14)

    ORGANIK  IP Scanner is great, but I would NEVER pay $25 for something like this. $10 and I'll buy immediately.

    Until then, it's Bonjour Browser for me.  (Version 1.6.3)

    POCKETSIZESUN  Same functionality (in fact more) - Rendezvous/mDNS/Bonjour browsing - is available as Rendezvous Browser from TildeSoft for free: http://www.tildesoft.com/Programs.html

    Howl even comes with a sample command line app that does exactly the same.

    And to say that it goes "beyond plain" scanning when it doesn't even allow plain scanning to find something else than Macs? It doesn't even show Windows PCs that are running iTunes (thus Rendezvous as well).

    The only thing that gives this piece of software the smallest value would be showing the user logged into another machine, but that only if the other user is running their publisher. They couldn't even make it into one application.

    But then, with iChat, which is already on your machine, you get the same value plus the ability to actually chat with that other user.

    Let's face it - this is just what any developer who would develop something for Rendezvous would have written as a basic internal test app. Just Copy'n'paste from some mDNS API documentation with a small and inefficent GUI wrapped around it.  (Version 1.3.1)
