Often, users of personal computers ask questions on forums that are related to the discovery of a particular computer on the network. This problem is being solved, but for this you need to have some knowledge of working on the Internet.
It is necessary
- - a computer;
- - the Internet.
Instructions
Step 1
As a rule, each computer has a specific IP address, which is assigned to it when it connects to the Internet. It is also worth noting that such an address is a set of 12 digits separated by a period of four. To determine if a computer is on the network, you need to know the computer's address. It's like a phone number.
Step 2
Do not forget that the IP address is dynamic and static. Dynamic is an IP address that is automatically assigned to each computer. That is, as soon as you connect to the network, a certain number is immediately assigned to the computer. The static one is assigned by the provider once and is then used constantly. That is, it doesn't matter how many times you connect to the network - the IP will remain the same.
Step 3
To see if a particular computer is on the network, you first need to find out what its IP address is. To do this, talk to the owner of this computer via ICQ and ask to transfer a file, for example, a photo. During transmission, the I-address is highlighted, so you can recognize it this way. Then go to the site 2ip.ru. Find the column there called "Check IP Address" or something similar, and click there. Enter the address that was shown in ICQ when transferring files.
Step 4
Next, you will be shown the country in which this computer is located, and a bunch of data - for example, provider number, e-mail. Next, call the provider's number and ask if the computer is on the network. For example, you can say that your computer has frozen while transferring important files and now you want to know if files are being transferred to this IP address so that you know whether to restart your computer or not. In general, we can say that it is quite difficult to identify a computer on a network.
