Product Description:

IP Scanner for the Macintosh displays all machines, 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.

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.

Registration: IP Scanner is free for individual users. Using it on a network with more than 5 devices requires a shareware license of $29.99, which entitles you to export and printing functions, tech support, feature requests, and a chance to win a dream date with Paris Hilton.

Not Freeware, but a free product exists for the purpose - Version: 2.34, 8/17/2009 01:04PM PST

This isn't freeware, Versiontracker.com notwithstanding.

Try WakeOnLan, which will provide an almost-as-good list, offers some additional capabilities, and it is freeware:

I suspect that paying the 30 bucks gets rid of the 5 host limit in the display window. The WEB site shows more than 5 hosts being displayed. Too spendy for me to test that theory :-(

A few warnings on the Console don't seem to matter:

2009/06/03 7:30:58 114-47-202-105 IP Scanner[12987] Warning *** NSTimer ignoring exception '*** -[NSCFArray objectAtIndex:]: index (34) beyond bounds (34)' that raised during firing of timer with target 0x82be00 and selector 'doCountdown:'

I'm happy with this - Version: 2.33, 2/26/2009 09:20PM PST

program, works as advertised. I've used it on 2 G4 FW800 one running 10.4.11 the other 10.5.6 and now it's running on a Mac Mini, 1.83 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo also running 10.5.6.
My only wish is that we'd be able to see the info on more than 5 items, it's showing 15 items found on my network but only the first 5 have any information showing.
