Download nbtscan
http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/nbtscan-Download-100891.html

Rename the .exe downloaded to nbtscan.exe (get rid of the version
numbers in the file name)

Then, from a command prompt, run:

Nbtscan 192.168.0.1-255

(where this would be if the IP of your machine is 192.168.0.x (otherwise
change the first three numbers to that of your network)

You'll then get a list of IP addresses on your network.

However, if you actually have 3 routers plugged into the hub, you may
have 3 separate routers, each with their own subnet.  If the routers
don't know what's on the other routers, then you may not be able to
communicate between networks.....

Subject: [AccessD] OT - Home networking question

Folks,

I know there are several members of this group who are knowledgeable
about
computer networking. We have a network in our home/offices that has
evolved
over time. The basic configuration is that out of our cable modem there
is
an Ethernet hub. 3 cables come out of this hub and go to routers, one in
my
office in one part of the house, one in my wife's office, and one to our
wifi. These have been added as requirements came about so this probably
isn't the best configuration. At the present we don't use the network to
access machines in other parts of the system. I have several in my
office
that access each other, but they are on the same router.  I do want to
stay
with the wired systems to the offices.  We just added a home security
system
that can be monitored over the network. It is connected to my router as
it
is closest to the box. I can access the system by typing in it's IP
address.
Now I am trying to access it from other points in the network and the IP
is
not visible. As you can probably tell I am network challenged. I think
what
I need to do is find the IP address of the security system from outside
my
router. How can this be done? 

Thanks 

Doug
