Local IP Addresses

[A]

Hello,

I'm wondering if there is anyway for me to obtain information about the
hardware attached to an IP that my router is broadcasting.

The situation is this...

I have a VOIP adapter plugged into a 4 port router, so it gets its own IP
address.

The company has given me the approprite ports to forward to the router,
which I have done in my router settings.

The only way to access the VOIP settings, is by hooking a laptop upto it
and connection the same way I connect to my router (IE address
192.168.10.1 >> username >> password).

I need to know that I have the right IP address for the ports I forwarded
to the VOIP hardware, but I don't have a laptop to connect to it and I
don't want to have to move this connection over and move it back. I
tried PINGing it and got a reply, but it really doesn't give me any info
about what's on the other side. I have a wireless router, so there's
always potential the address is connected, but being used by someone
else.

I guess another solution for me would be to determine exactly what local
addresses are in use and just narrow it down (ie. one unknown would tell
me that's it; I can confirm all the others).

Any suggestions or is my lazy ass gonna have to move some cabels around?

Look in your router's configuration settings for a DHCP client table. On
my Linksys, it is under Status>Local Network>DHCP Client Table. When I
click that link, it shows all the computers, their names, their IP
addresses, and their MAC addresses.
