How do I see all the devices on my home network?
I am trying to see everything on my PC which uses XP 64.

I can see everything with my laptop that uses Vista.

I know there is something about ensuring one of the PCs is considered the master of the network. There is a registry change to make it happen.

You should be able to use angryip to do a ping sweep. that will at least give you all the hostnames of the windows machines. at least you know ALL the machines and can sort from there.

What would be nice is some type of network topography view, like "What's Up Gold".

when you say devices, do you mean devices other than computers and printers? Such as routers and media players? IIRC, any Windows version below Vista only displays computers and printers.

How's your network setup? Are you using a wireless router?

I'd login to your router's administrative control panel, you can easily see all the devices connected to it that way- might only give you the IP Address, MAC Address, and hostnames of the devices but you weren't specific about what information you wanted.
