nmap, missing last mac address - networking

when I run
sudo nmap -sn xxx.xxx.x.*
I got a list of all IPs connected to my router (xxx.xxx.x.1 is gateway),
but i've noticed that the last ip connected doesn't show the MAC address.
Why? How can i fix this?
This is my output:
Starting Nmap 7.60 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2018-04-09 18:38 CEST
Nmap scan report for xxx.xxx.x.1
Host is up (0.0029s latency).

Nmap scan report for xxx.xxx.x.27

Nmap done: 256 IP addresses (8 hosts up) scanned in 27.83 seconds
As you can see, MAC address is missing from the last host (that is my pc, from which i lunch the command)

The last IP is your scanning machine. Because it is accessed over the loopback interface, it does not have an associated MAC address. The Loopback link type does not have a physical medium, so it does not need or have a "media access control" (MAC) address. It is listed last because Nmap first scanned all the targets that used Ethernet (or similar, like WiFi) links in one group, leaving only your local address in the last group.

How to find Local IPs

Is there a way to find local IPs for devices on your network? I have tried the following in a command line:
Ipconfig
ping 10.51....
arp -a
Is this correct and if not what is?
For Windows
ipconfig
For linux
ifconfig ,
ip addr
in linux you will find ip of eth0 and lo(look up that is for self-connection)

Raspberry pi is unable to reach gateway

Recently we brought raspberry pi 3b.Beginning we used to access the internet using an ethernet cable and it used to connect properly but now raspberry pi is not able to reach the gateway itself and it's taking its default IP address i.e 169.xxx.xxx.xx.
what would be the issue?we tried to reinstalling the operating system again the same issue .it worked for one day after that same problem.so please help me to solve the issue.
Finally, I am able to figure it out after trial and error method. I have missed "auto eth0" before the iface statement i.e
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
network 255.255.255.0
gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8
Assuming that you have a windows computer available, open cmd and run the following command:
ipconfig
note down the values that display. Now on your pi, enter the command
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
This will open the network interfaces file. Look for the line similar to 'inet eth0 inet manual' Then remove this line and everything to do with the eth0 interface, since we are going to start over.
in the interfaces file, add the following section:
auto eth0
inet eth0 inet static
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
network 255.255.255.0
gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8
Replace the x in address with the first 3 groups of the value taken from the windows system. For example, if the ip address on the windows system was 192.168.0.221, enter 192.168.0.xxx
The last group of xxx for address should be something unique to everything else on your network.
'gateway' should be whatever the gateway value in windows was (assuming these machines are on the same network)
[Ctrl]+[x], Save changes
reboot via
sudo reboot
once the system has rebooted
ifconfig eth0
should list the new settings. Test them by pinging the below address (google)
sudo ping 8.8.8.8

Can ping anther PC is same network connected by switch

I have two PC in same subnet and connected via switch. When I do arp -a the other IP address is shown but I cant ping the other PC.
It is shown in arp, but maybe it is cached, and currently not reachable. Try the following command, which outputs its current cache state:
ip neigh
For example, on my personal laptop, I have a wireless adapter (wlan0) and a wired one (eth0), both connected to the same network (my home router). With arp -a it displays
? (192.168.1.1) en xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx [ether] en wlan0
? (192.168.1.1) en xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx [ether] en eth0
and with ip neigh it shows
192.168.1.1 dev wlan0 lladdr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx STALE
192.168.1.1 dev eth0 lladdr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx REACHABLE
As seen with ip neigh, the wireless one is in the STALE state, cause it is not being used, but arp -a does not displays it.

Steps to share internet with BeagleBone Black using USB from OS X

Already tried:
Connect the BBB with USB to iMac
Share internet with the board from System Preferences->Sharing
ssh to the board and then try to udhcp -i usb0
This is what it says:
udhcpc (v1.20.2) started
Gets stuck and I get and error: Write failed: Broken pipe
ssh exits
Any clues?
After some try-and-erroring, here's what worked for me:
1. Watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf9hnscbSK8
2. If your BBB was shipped after November 2013, instead of screen /dev/tty.usb*B 115200 use screen /dev/tty.usb* 115200 and actually you need to go to the /dev directory and check which of the tty.usbXXX is available for your BBB and screen it. In my case it was tty.usb131 for example
3. You continue the steps just like in the video until opkg update which would be the thing you need to do over the internet
And that it's all about it.
Your SSH session is getting stuck because you're connected to usb0 and the udhcpc command changed the IP address for it! At this point there's nothing listening on the other end of your ssh session, so your local computer's ssh client eventually fails with the broken pipe error and exits.
An obvious workaround is to connect via tty.usbserial instead of ssh to the IP address. You'd think the usb port's assigned IP shouldn't be changing though. Read on to understand what's happening.
Most people using a BBB for the first time attach them directly to their Internet connected computer using the supplied USB cable. It's exactly what the BBBs designers intended for you to do, and they've done a fantastic job with the BBBs startup web page.
That host computer shares it connection differently though depending on whether it's Windows, OS X or Linux, and how you do it varies depending on the version of the OS you're running.
Derek Molloy (Exploring BeagleBone) and Jason Kridner (Youtube OS X Beaglebone video) provide some fairly detailed instructions to use host based Internet sharing with your BBB. The Linux and Windows instructions are still good, but they need to update the OS X info for Yosemite - Apple switched their NAT and firewall software to pf from ipfw and natd. If you try running udhcpc like Jason did in his vid it doesn't work the same way as his did.
So back to your BBB SSH problem with OS X Yosemite. Here's how to see what's going on: Connect to the BBB using a serial/FTDI cable, then check the ip config of usb0 for the beaglebone.
beaglebone:~# ifconfig -a usb0
usb0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 0e:be:ff:00:ff:00 inet addr:192.168.7.2
Bcast:192.168.7.3 Mask:255.255.255.252
confirm you can ping the host that's sharing it's Internet connection
beaglebone:~# ping 192.168.7.1
PING 192.168.7.1 (192.168.7.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.7.1: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.681 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.7.1: icmp_req=2 ttl=64 time=0.533 ms
^C
try reaching an Internet IP (google dns)
beaglebone:~# ping 8.8.8.8
connect: Network is unreachable
check routes and confirm there's no default route out, which is why the ping above failed (a USB connected BBB has a 192.168.7.0/30 network setup by default, so it can only reach 192.168.7.0, .1, .2 and .3 addresses).
beaglebone:~# netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
192.168.7.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.252 U 0 0 0 usb0
so if you run udhcpc it will add the missing route for you. you could also just add the route directly, but you need to setup dns as well, and with OS X Internet sharing it won't work without also changing the BBB's IP address - see links at end of this post)
beaglebone:~# udhcpc -i usb0
udhcpc (v1.20.2) started
Sending discover...
Sending discover...
and here is where udhcpc changes the IP instead of just re-using 192.168.7.2. The new IP is compatible with the IP range used by OS X Internet Sharing, so that may be why the DHCP server is returning it.
Sending select for 192.168.2.34...
Lease of 192.168.2.34 obtained, lease time 85536
udhcpc then throws an error because there's no default route to delete
/etc/udhcpc/default.script: Resetting default routes
SIOCDELRT: No such process
udhcpc then adds the default route - note carefully it's an OS X Internet Sharing 192.168.2 address, not the original 192.168.7.
/etc/udhcpc/default.script: Adding DNS 192.168.2.1
everything worked, so you can see the new route and successfully ping an external IP now
beaglebone:~# netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface

How to find IP address from netbios host name?

What network tool can I use under DOS/windows to find the ip address of a netbios host as easily as is done in Linux?
For example under Linux (ubuntu) I can find the ip address like so:
# nmblookup imac
querying imac on 192.168.1.255
192.168.1.75 imac<00>
Now, this is the IP of the macbook when connected wirelessly
But under windows I can't ping it:
C:\>ping imac
Pinging imac.gateway.2wire.net [192.168.1.68] with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
And the closest tool I could find returns TWO IPs
(it returns the hardwired IP even though it got a different IP by connecting wirelessly
C:\>nslookup imac
Address: 192.168.1.254
Name: imac.gateway.2wire.net
Addresses: 192.168.1.68, 192.168.1.75
Isnt there a windows command to return only the active IP address for the host?
On Windows, you can try
ping -a IP_address (lookup for both DNS name and NetBIOS name)
nslookup IP_address (this command requires you to have an internal DNS server configured)
I like to use ping -a personally.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490938.aspx :
Nbtstat.exe -a NETBIOSNAME
Nbtstat.exe -A IP
Come with Windows XP and upward.
nbtstat -a [hostname] -c
This gives IP address of NetBIOS name on Windows
