Hello,
I need to find a free IP address in a network
but I'm not really sure how to do it?
If someone could explain it to me, that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

How are the addresses assigned? DHCP? Or via Static IP?
If it's a static IP, you must have a table referencing the PCs and their addresses, otherwise :s
There's the option to ping all the addresses on the network one by one, assuming all the PCs are powered on and connected; the one that doesn't respond is available.
If it's DHCP, then you just need to connect to it to know the IPs that have already been assigned.
