Hello,
I need help.
I have an external hard drive with an ethernet connection in my network.
The problem is that it's a second-hand product and I don't have its IP address.
I did 2 tests:
1 > directly connecting it to a PC while testing IP addresses (from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255)
2 > connecting it to the switch behind my livebox (configured with DHCP) same range
and nothing, I can't find this hard drive.
I have done resets to revert to its factory IP address but still nothing.
Does anyone have any idea??
If not, how can I quickly find the IP address of a device connected to the network card?
Thank you, and I hope someone can help me because I really can't find it.

To find the missing X in 169.254.61.X, you do what you did on the IPs 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.254.254: you scan the network. Since it was mentioned above that this drive automatically takes its IP address via DHCP, and given your IP address, your router assigns IPs in the 169.254.61.0/255.255.255.0 network, you should be able to find it.
To scan the network, you can use Angry IP Scanner, for example. In the IP Range section, you first enter 169.254.61.1, and then in the "To" field, you enter 169.254.61.254 (or you click on the "Class C" button), then you click "Start" and wait to see what it finds (in fact, you can even click on the "IP" button which will fill in the scan range with your IP (on the local network), then click on "Class C" to auto-generate the range (to save you from typing anything).
Logically, you should see your machine, your router, and the network drive in question in the list.

So, being second-hand, I don't have much. Just CLD-101 Landisk box written on the back of the casing.
Thank you

That's enough to see this:

So apparently... the IP address of the drive is set by the DHCP server!
You need to know the IP address of the router/modem (your box) (usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1)
The IP address of the drive will therefore be between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254
Use a network scanning tool to ping all the addresses at once and try to scan port 80 of each of these addresses
Does it have an admin interface via the address http://192.168.X.Y ? (See the specification document in the link above)
It's up to you to find X.Y

Yes. Thank you for your help, but that's exactly what I can't find, X and Y.
I'll keep going, but testing.
If you have another idea, thanks in advance.
PS: even with my Livebox in DHCP (192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.250), nothing. It must keep its factory address, the C..

If you know its hostname, you can try to ping it, and if it pings the hostname, it transforms it into an IP address.
Example ping google.fr
Sending a 'ping' request to google.fr [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] with 32 bytes of data:
Response from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: bytes=32 time=46 ms TTL=239
The IP will be marked in place of the XXX.

I will try to start -> run -> cmd: netstat -r
in the router, display the IP addresses assigned by DHCP

Thank you.
I've done it.
The hard drive gives the IP address for my PC: 169.254.61.196
But in ipconfig, netsatat -r, arp -a nothing shows the hard drive's IP address.
I don't understand, the hard drive gives an address so I must have a way to find its own.
I tried 169.254.0.0, 169.254.1.1 nothing
I'm fed up, please help.
