IP neighbourhood software

Is there such a thing as software to identify all IP addresses within the
wireless network neighbourhood?

For example, I have a WAP54 that was upgraded with MUST_Die firmware, but it
has caused it to fail. I can see the device with netstumbler, but I cannot
connect to it. The Linksys setup software recognises the device but reports
the IP number as 1.192.168.1 whereas I set it to the default 192.168.1.245.
If I try to change the settings, it tells me that I have the wrong password
(i have left it as the defaul 'admin'). I am not sure what is the true IP
address or how to connect to sort things out (ideally I would like to
reflash with alternative firmware - is there any way of doing this when I
can't access the settings?)

Nmap:

Run from the command line:
nmap -T5 -sP 192.168.111.0/24
Subsitute your class C IP block of addresses.

1.192.168.1 is something like what you would get if you have a
corrupted or misaligned firmware image. There are WAP54/WRT54G
recovery proceedures on various web piles. Looks like you'll need to
scan all 6 billion IP addresses if your actual IP address is that
badly mangled.

You might also try:
apr -s 192.168.0.1 xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx
to set the IP address to the MAC address of the router. Test it with:
ping 192.168.0.1

Recovery mode is accessible by stomping on the reset button for over
30 seconds. Your IP should be 192.168.1.1 after reset. This works
with the WRT54G, should work with the WAP54, but I'm not sure.

4 Billion =)


255x255x255x255 = 4,228,250,625
