These utilities might help. However, if the machine your trying to scan it firewalled it may all be in vain.<br />

I am pretty sure it is. I guess I could just deny it an IP in DHCP admin and see who calls me to complain. Any other ideas?

Really? Interesting. I would think any data on the company network is open for sniffing. You bring up a good point. <br />
I will look up the MAC address good idea. <br />

Someone has attached a personal computer to the network in a remote office and I would like to find out more about the PC. All I can see is the machine name and IP address in DHCP manager on Windows 2003 Server. <br />
<br />
If I ping the computer nothing comes back and if I try to open the c$ share the network path is not found. If I try to manage it through Windows XP I get path not found. <br />
<br />
Is there anything I can do to access or scan this PC to find out more about it? Like - operating system, user who is logged onto it, manufacturer, or to confirm if the PC is actively connected to the network? <br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks, <br />
Bob

How can I scan personal computer with firewall up that is on my network?

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
