How do you know the IP address of each computer and the corresponding name of the computer within the LAN?

First of all, use a network scanner and scan your network and it'll give you a list of every active IP on the network and the hostname of the device ( name ). I recommend an app on the appstore called "iNet" free and fast. It scans whatever subnet your on 192.x or 10.x 184.x etc. It is very useful for big networks for finding computers. Another way is to open your router webpage and it should have a list of every connected client on the network and their IP along with hostnames and mac address.Takes more time using these steps provided but didn't delete it.
1st option is to run ipconfig on each computer and it will tell you the ip address of the computer you are on. To get the name of the computer you can go to the network configuration settings which I will explain in a bit how to get to.
2nd option type in the IP address of the router in the web browser of the one of the computers connected to it, log in to the router with the username and password you used to set it up with, and depending on the router you have you're going to want to look at the log or look around in the different settings to see if you can't find a list of currently connected devices almost eveyr router I've seen to date has had a list somewhere of the devices connected to it
anyways back to option 1....in order to run ipconfig on your computer go to Start menu -> Run (or hold the windows key and press r) type in ipconfig in the box that pops up....if that doesn't work then try typing cmd in the box....you should get an msdos looking window that pops up....from there type in ipconfig....after that look for the IP Address it will be clearly listed there
now as for getting to the name of the computers....I'm not sure about other operating systems but I'm pretty sure it's quite similar across all windows operating systems but I will give you the exact instructions from Windows 2000 Professional which is what OS I happen to run:
1. right click on the My Computer icon which is located on the desktop
2. left click on properties
3. Go to the Network Identification tab
4. Click the properties button
5. Look at the value in the Computer Name box
6. Now you know what the computer's name is
Well, I hope this helped

How do you get mac address of people that on same network?
First, communicate somehow with the computer. For example, if you know the IP address, do a PING command.Then check the ARP cache. If you use Windows, type arp -a. This will show the translations between recently used IP addresses and their corresponding MAC addresses.Or just go to each computer and give the ipconfig /allcommand.First, communicate somehow with the computer.

Does each computer have its own address?
Yes, it does.
Does every computer have a different ip address?
No, an IP address is given to each internet provider, not each computer. For example, there could be five computers hooked up to the same network in which case they'd all have the same IP address.
Each computer on the Internet has a unique address called an IP address which stands for?
Internet Protocol I believe
What indefinite each computer connected to the internet?
have an unique IP address
Each computer on the Internet has a four-part numeric address This address is called the?
It's called the internet protocol (IP) address.
What is need of private IP address?
1) Private IP addtess is an unique number/address assign to a computer within the organization or private network or intranet. 2) Using private IP address we can locate a computer on private network.
What is the ip address and if your computer does not connected to internet then your computer have an ip address?
IP address is the internet protocol address which is unique for each system in the given network. IP address is like an unique id that uniquely identifies a system on a network. Yes even if you are not connected to internet, computer would still have an IP address.
Define an IP address?
An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label assigned to each device (e.g., computer, printer) participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.
How do you differentiate computers on the same network?
Each computer has a unique name, IP address and MAC address. (not MAC as in McIntosh.)
A computer has 64MB megabytes of memory Each word is 4 bytes How many bits are needed to address each single word in memory?
The memory address space is 64 MB, which means 226. However, each word is 4 bytes, which means that you have 224 words. This means you need log2 224 or 24 bits, to address each word.
How does a computer organize bytes held in ram?
each bit of RAM has a unique address
