is the a program that can tell me which IP addresses are already being used
on a subnet? Static, DHCP, MAC address of the machine with the IP, etc?

Thanks,

You will have to scan all addresses to find out which ones
are in use. Use DHCP instead so that it can manage its
address pool.

DHCP will manage addresses for you...however, it sucks! Disable DHCP
whenever possible and specify IP addresses.

The more software you have running, the more problems you'll have.

There is nothing wrong with DHCP.

Please elaborate and be specific. How does software
installation relate to IP addresses and DHCP?

While I had DHCP running on my Linksys router, I've had to repetedly reset
the router... Since I've disabled DHCP, I've hardly ever had to reset my
router.

As far as I know, DHCP is software....as I said, since I've disabled it and
hard coded the IP addresses and the like, I've rarely ever had network
related issues on my small network.
