The Address Scan window allows you to scan a range of IP Addresses to check for available hosts and assigned domain names.
Enter the starting and ending IP Address in the corresponding fields and press Scan to begin scanning. For each address in the specified range, the Address Scan window will ping that address to see if the corresponding host is available and perform a Domain Name Server lookup to find the registered domain name for that address if any. Alternatively, the Address Scan tool can repeat the scan every minute to report the last time a host was seen (select "Last Seen" in the popup menu).
If you leave the ending address empty, a default range of 32 addresses is used. You can also specify an address range by separating two IP Addresses by a hyphen "-" in the starting address field. The maximum scan range is limited to 1024 addresses for efficiency. To retrieve a larger range of domain names, you can request a Zone Transfer using the NSLookup window (recommended).
Additional Features:
You can double-click on any destination in the table to start a Ping test to that address. You donΓÇÖt have to wait for the scan to finish.
When you invoke one window from another, the corresponding data is automatically transferred. Select any destination in the table and invoke the "Who Is" window from the Window menu (Cmd-I) to look up "Who Is" responsible for the corresponding 2nd level network domain. Invoke the Subnet Calculator window (Cmd-B) to transfer the IP address to the Subnet Calculator.
If you have Internet Config installed, you can make IPNetMonitor a helper application for URLs of the form <scan://199.232.56.13> or <scan:199.232.56.13-199.232.56.20>.
You can select the results of an Address Scan and copy them to the clipboard as plain text (for pasting into email messages). If you include the first row of the table in your selection, the table headings will also be copied as shown here.
<scan: 199.232.56.35>
