for non fixed devices that use dhcp to obtain addresses can have a different address each time they connect, if you could use the mac address and/or host name to check if the device has connected or not, is this possable?
yeah - it would be nice to store / record the mac address of the device during the network scan but that is really only useful if the host making the scan is on the same layer 2 network as the network being scanned - i.e. useful mac addresses would be in the arp cache.
