"craigconfire" hath wroth:

Yes. Work with one at a time. If you plug both in at the same time, you'll probably end up with both on the same IP address and find nothing.

Figure out the MAC address of the device. It's on the serial number label.

Run: arp -s 192.168.1.111 aa-bb-cc-cc-ee-ff

To see the result, run: arp -a

To test if it works, run: ping 192.168.1.111

To delete the entry, run: arp -d 192.168.1.111 or arp -d *

This ARP trick does NOT work on every device, so no guarantees.

Another way is to scan for probable IP addresses with NMAP.

\\NMAP> nmap -T5 -sP 192.168.1.0/24 Starting nmap 3.55 ( ) at 2006-03-23 09:17 Pacific Standard Time Host 192.168.1.1 appears to be up. Host 192.168.1.50 appears to be up. Host MICRON (192.168.1.100) appears to be up. Host DELLBERT (192.168.1.101) appears to be up. Host NET44GATE (192.168.1.200) appears to be up. Host GOLEM (192.168.1.201) appears to be up. Host 192.168.1.255 seems to be a subnet broadcast address (returned 1 extra pings). Nmap run completed -- 256 IP addresses (5 hosts up) scanned in 19.71 seconds

Immediately after running, run: ARP -a to verify the MAC address and IP address pair.
