Thanks Wayne & Peter, that what I was looking for, currently running a nmap
scan now, and if I don't find anything there I will move onto the 10.*.*.*
and 172.*.*.* range.
If that fails to find anything not sure what to try next, does anybody use
real world IP for printer server on internal networks??
