Let us focus on this scene： When you establish a Local Area Network,  you would ask a question,  whether there is a “thief” stealing our net?  If you want to secure your network, you’d better know is there anyone mooch Off Wi-Fi from your network. According to a research, people like to mooch Off Wi-Fi if they can get access. If it is an immoral guy, he might do harm to your network when mooch Off Wi-Fi from you. On the other hand, if your internet free was charged by traffic, who mooch Off Wi-Fi from you may add on your bill. IP – MAC Scanner provide a solution to find out who mooch Off Wi-Fi from you, even to kick them out. It scans all connections on your network, and tell you which are unknown connections by a network analysis report.

Therefore, you should find the one who mooch Off Wi-Fi from you, you can go through four steps (including Main Board phase, Database phase, Email notification phase, Send message to remote desktop phase)

to complete this simple task, while you may define it a tough job without our AthTek IP-MAC Scanner.

Way to override a LAN or several buildings, a school, or a small geographic area such as plant-wide computer network. AthTek IP-MAC Scanner is a free utility for LAN IP scanning tool, its user interface is very friendly, and it is also very simple to use, even if the user is no knowledge of the network, but also can easily use this tool to run the entire network there is a clear case management.

The tool also holds the scan results directly import or export, with such a large number of results about our scan. We will next introduce how to import the scan results.

After you scan the whole LAN, you can click the “Analyze”, and then find the path: Analyze-Save as-Txt file(*.txt), and then you will get the inported Txt file, such as:

IP Scanner can show all the computers connected to the LAN and a variety of devices (such as routers), you can also select IP range for accurate scanning. MAC Scanner allows you to scan all the devices connected to the LAN MAC address.

Therefore, we should add the trusted PCs into our database, for one thing, it can be more safer; for another thing, it can be convenient compared with other softwares. As in this case, i will introduce you a actual case that is to backup your trusted clients. Firstly, please open our IP-MAC Scanner software and then click the button “Scan”, and then you will get a list of computers in your local area network, as in the range of “*.*.*.1-*.*.*.255”. In my LAN, there are 151 PCs connected, which is be seen in the first picture.

If you trust one connected PC, you can add it to the database and then get the response from out software, which is displayed in the following picture.

Finally, you will see the trusted one in your database, such as in the last picture, and you can modify its work-group and user as the following actual case, for instance, Workgroup: AthTek and User: AthTek Tony.

IP-MAC Scanner allows you to scan all the apparatuses connected to the LAN MAC address. And it can also show the host name and work-group name and  be convenient to make you LAN management. The software also allows you to analysis has been scanned by the computer, have a look inside if there is no computer records, in addition, the administrator can also set the automatic scanning, it may be more convenient. In fact, there are a lot of software small functions, you can use slowly.We will display one key classic functions of IP-MAC SCANNER.

• use those remote control stuff

The so-called remote control, refers to the management personnel through remote computer network remote dial-up or both to access Internet and other means, Unicom need be controlled by a computer, the computer desktop environment that will be charged to your computer, configuration, software installation program, modify the work through the local computer to the remote computer. Remote wake-up (WOL), namely through the local area network to realize the remote boot.

This is a traditional way to monitor server-client computers, in out this situation, we will focus on just the Remote Shutdown service. AthTek  IP – MAC Scanner provides remote control functions for senior user.Click “Tools”, you will be able to use those remote control functions.

And network administrator has another key function to manage users in the LAN, If the IP-MAC binding, as long as the user changes their IP is not on the network, must change back to the original IP can normally access, Therefore, anyone who joins in the LAN will not be able to change his/her IP address.

However, with the smart LAN software, you can efficiently control and have a good management of this local area network. And as IP-MAC SCANNER is in Built-in IP Scanner, MAC Scanner, and Ping Tester three components, when you scan is complete the data can be imported or exported. If you make ip-mac binding, as long as the user changes his ip can not get on the net, must be changed back to the original ip before they can access the Internet.

As using this ping test, you can not have to use Windows ping tool, which brings convenience and time-assuming work. In my mind, this software has another important application is data backup and restore, which can be viewed as this: As a professional and considerate LAN management tool, IP – MAC Scanner also enables to backup and restore the scanning results. It supports to import or export as “.xls” and “.bat” files format. Therefore we can have a good acknowledgement during a period and have a precise decision based on these data.

What is IP-MAC Scanner? Let us have a short but better understanding to it. IP-MAC Scanner (IP Scan Tool) is a powerful IP tool, its user interface is very friendly, and it is also very simple to use, even if the user is no knowledge of the network, but also can easily use the tool to the entire network the operation of a clear management.

Let have a picture of the favorable user interface:

Please allow me to introduce this photo from different angles of views. We can see that if we set the IP address’s scope, we will get the concrete PC’s information. For example, in this picture, this network tool IP-MAC Scanner give us the data: SCan Complete! Scanned: 255 IP, Found 120 connected. And it can also give us our local IP address and MAC address, as using a favorable user interface,  users will quickly get accustomed to this software.

This Software includes IP Scanner, MAC Scanner, and Ping Tester three components, through these three components, you can easily manage your local network. IP Scanner can show all the computers connected to the LAN and a variety of devices (such as routers), you can also select IP range for accurate scanning. MAC Scanner allows you to scan all the devices connected to the LAN MAC address. Software can also display the host name and workgroup name, which will easily enable you to manage the LAN. Software also allows you to analyze already scanned into the computer, and see whether there are unrecorded computer, in addition, administrators can set up automatic scans, so perhaps more convenient.

Now i will describe one way to get hostname: Start — run — cmd — ipconfig / all — you can view the configuration information related to the machine, which has a line: Physical Address and so on. The information that is displayed behind the MAC information; the first line shows the host name is the host name.

Next, i will describe one way to get workgroup: Working group on the local computer desktop select the “My Network Places” right-click “Properties”, open the “Network Connections” window, click on the “Advanced” menu, click “Network ID” to open the “System Properties” dialog box, you can see or change the “Computer name” and “Workgroup” name. Computer is not the same as a group can not be shared.

However, to get the name of adapter cards is a hard work. And i think the two ways described above is not very easy to execute, so i am looking for a network tool to get, after some trials, i think IP-MAC Scanner is not a bad choice. And i will use some time to introduce it to all of you.

AthTek NetWalk is a specialist that can help Network administrators to monitor and manage the Network. Once ARP attacks happen to the network, AthTek NetWalk provides services which can locate ARP source rapidly and reliably, thus ensuring normal network operations.

By monitoring every event through the network or analyzing packets captured experienced administrators can Diagnosis the problem.

However AthTek NetWalk can help you do that with its intelligent analyzing systems.

Different marks mean the different severity of events.

There are some suggestions of mine about troubleshooting.

Firstly，pay special attention to the value of ARP Request and ARP Response which should be above 1:1generally.

Also the Physical Endpoints we can view from AthTek NetWalk will show the correlation of MAC address and IP address. Most of the conditions one MAC address shall have only one IP address corresponding to .If one MAC address has multiple IP addresses to, there are several conditions such as the host with the MAC address is the gateway Or ARP attack. And through AthTek NetWalk, we can locate ARP attack.

AthTek NetWalk can draw a matrix which will show the information between those hosts in the network in that people will be able to identify doubtful conditions as quick as possible.

Why and how to bind IP with Mac?

DHCP assigns IP address to each device randomly. Therefore, as a network administrator, you need to avoid the IP address of the host from changing and result in unable to filter, manage bandwidth for the packets. Administrators must configure Bind IP to MAC to assure the management. Once the IP address and MAC address are bound for a computer, the router can obtain the specified IP address according to the rules in IP

Bind List after identifying MAC address of a computer. Thus, effective management and control can be reached in network easily.

So, how to bind IP to Mac?

If your firewall/router is also your DHCP serve and it allows you to reserve IP addresses based on MAC address, you will need to configure it to do so. The method varies by brand (Linksys/D-Link/Netgear/Cisco and a thousand others) so you may need to consult the web or the manual.

Now a small tool can figure it work which is called IP-MAC scanner.

You can download and install it from here free.

• Firstly, open the software and click “scan” button.
•  
• Secondly, choose the IP addresses that you intend to bind with MAC and add them to the database.
• 
• Thirdly, change to the database tab and select the IP and MAC addresses.
• At last, right-click and choose “generate IP-MAC binding” item.
