[DESKTOP] LAN Tools ?

[GregM]

Looking for some kind of tool that I can run on my 18.04 desktop that will let me see what/who is on my household network.
They used to have some of what I was looking for on the Linksys software when you signed in to their router...the IP address for each computer/person/etc. and all the other info that there is to be had.

I have a webcam that will have an address that it (or the router) somehow generates and before I can log in to it I have to know what its IP address is.

It would be real handy if I just had this little "utility" that would let me look at my LAN and get all that info at any particular time.
I tried logging in to this new router (not Linksys) and it screwed it up and the phone company got pretty mad because they had to give me a new router.

Thanks

88 monitoring tools and no Wireshark?
Not that I would recommend Wireshark... but still. *

What does your Dolphin show for Network? Maybe enough for what you want...



(Liveboxplus is my router, BTW, and I can get it to show connected devices really easily).

* Going slightly off-topic here, but while I'm at it, doesn't anybody think that a smart packet sniffer is sorely needed?
I mean one that would let you monitor network activity and alert you of "suspicious" ones - to be user-defined, with guidelines.. you hopefully get my drift...
I mean, in such a wild environment as TCP-IP worldwide-connected devices (yes, the internet :·) shouldn't it be the top priority in software development?
Even Kali hasn't got anything even remotely approaching... what I personally think is... rather essential.

I have a "Network" folder but there is nothing in it.
No "Liveboxplus" at all.
