Windows XP DHCP server

I am using windows xp home as a dhcp server in a home networking environment. However, I can't see which IP addresses are being assigned to the different clients in the net (and not all of them are computers, so ipconfig doesn't help). I have checked \system32\dhcp directory, but it is empty. Any ideas ?

If you have a router you can just go to the router admin and look there.
Or you should be able to just go and look at each computer. .
Or you can assign IP addy's manually of you are worried about which they are.
Good luck

Router admin doesn't show any entries (since it is not assigning the DHCP addresses) - and, by the way, I don't know what the routers IP address is (see what I mean ?). Same problem with an 802.11b access point. I can't change the configuration since I don't know what the address is. Manually not an option since we have 2 notebooks that are also being used in other networks...
Any other ideas ? There must be a list of the assigned IP addresses in Windows XP itself !!!
Regards
Andreas

Ping each device by name and ping will return response time with IP. This will work for non-pc network applicances as well.
