how to scan for raspberry pi on network windows
install nmap Find your own computers IP address on the local network Example IP: 192.168.1.17 Scan for devices with the command nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24 The -sn flag is the ping scan flag and the 0/24 represents the whole subnet range This may take a while Results will look similar to this: Nmap scacn report for hostname (IPaddress) Host is up (latency) MAC Address: macaddress (Producer) But if the hostname does not show up you can try using the -A flag Or a simple solution is to do: Power off raspberry pi arp -a Take a screenshot of the IP addresses on the network Plug in raspberry pi Get coffee/Go to bathroom/World domination/Call a loved one Do arp -a again Compare list of IP addresses on network to find the raspberry pi
Here is what the above code is Doing:
1. Install nmap
2. Find your own computers IP address on the local network
3. Scan for devices with the command
4. The -sn flag is the ping scan flag and the 0/24 represents the whole subnet range
5. This may take a while
6. Results will look similar to this:
Nmap scacn report for hostname (IPaddress)
Host is up (latency)
MAC Address: macaddress (Producer)
7. But if the hostname does not show up you can try using the -A flag
8. Or a simple solution is to do:
Power off raspberry pi
arp -a
Take a screenshot of the IP addresses on the network
Plug in raspberry pi
Get coffee/Go to bathroom/World domination/Call a loved one
Do arp -a again
Compare list of IP addresses on network to find the raspberry pi
