How to find out the network address?

Question

Computer networks

An interesting situation is when it is necessary to connect to a network with static addressing, but at the same time we do not know which address to assign to our device. How to find out which address to assign?

Answer 1

Turn on Wireshark and watch the broadcast from other computers, this way we will find out the network address.

Answer 2

Decent options. The simplest ones I think are:

1. Get by DHCP
   
2. Check with administrator
   
3. Peep on a configured device
   
4. Guess
   

Answer 3

You need to get any ip address with a subnet mask of the network you want to connect to, calculate the range of addresses based on this, and try to connect.
For example, there is an address like "192.168.23.57/27", using an ip calculator or manually calculate the range of valid ip addresses, in this case it is "192.168.23.33 - 192.168.23.62", you take addresses from this range, assign it to your device and try to connect to the network
