PCFinder

PCFinder is a very easy to use Windows utility that allows you to easily scan an IP range and retrieve information such as hostnames and MAC addresses.

With a clean and straightforward look, PCFinder prompts you to input the IP range you wish to scan, while the main window is also being used to display each IP address along with the MAC address and the host name.

There are dedicated tools to search for a specific entry in results or even sort the results by IP address, MAC address or host name.

PCFinder also boasts an options screen that allows you to enable fast MAC lookup, resolve host names and enable WAN scan, with a separate field for defining the number of threats. You can enable DNS hostname resolution, with three separate options, namely automatic, always and never.

The program completes the scanning job pretty fast, without slowing down the machine too much. It works flawlessly on all Windows versions and it doesn't even ask for administrator privileges when used on Windows 7.

There's no help file included in the app but chances are that you don't even need one since everything's so intuitive, but in case you need assistance on one of the features you have no other option than to search the Internet.

Overall, PCFinder is a handy software solution that does its job very well without hampering computer performance. It works quick and with minimum configuration, asking users to define the IP range to scan and nothing more.
