A work in
progress... used specifically for locating and browsing computers on a
local area network. There's a lot of functionality that can be added, and
will be in the coming weeks.
- Flashed up the GUI a bit.
- Added the following toolbar functionality:
- Stop - Click to stop the scan midstream.
- Back - Navigate back one directory.
- Forward - Navigate forward one directory.
- DNS Lookup - Perform domain name or reverse DNS lookups.
Bug Fixes:
======
- The scan could take a really long time on some networks. LANScan now retrieves only the
workgroups first. The individual computers connected to the workgroup will be located
when you expand the workgroup node.
Known Issues:
=========
- For some reason (in my testing anyway), the first time LANScan retrieves an IP address
it comes back 'unknown'. If you encounter this, colapsing and re-expanding the node
branch should fix the problem.
- The Back and Forward buttons don't currently work.
- The Options don't exist yet.
- Retrieving the MAC address can cause LANScan to lockup sometimes. Currently disabled.
