Hi All,

I'm looking for a simple utility to help me find items on networks. I will mainly be using it find switches,printers routers etc. Essentially it will be used to find a switch on a LAN I will be logging in remotely via Logmein and fault finding from there. I don't need any in-depth features ideally it will discover the IP and Mac addresses as well as the manufacturer/name of the different units on the network.

Thanks in advance...
