Got bored in Office.Wanted to see some movies.Here is the easiest way to do some time pass in your office.

All you need is a tool that searches your LAN and list you all the movies,audios etc. from your Local Area Network.

When you have movies shared by your friends,unknown friends ;-),why to bother.Make use of all those :)


For this purpose,i use a demo tool developed by Amit Dey from NIT Rourkela.

About the Tool :

From eMagics

LanScan is a tool designed for the purpose of searching for files and folders which are shared over a Local Area Network.

It is particularly useful in organizations where a lot of folders are shared on individual systems.

You can download this tool free from here:

User : dbbtvlzfpz@mailinator.com
Password :dbbtvlzfpz

No need of installation .Just unzip and start using it :D

Double click lanscan.exe and open it.Configure ip address range,where it has to search.

From eMagics

Try to give a less range,so that this tool will perform faster search.

Select from the options what you wanted to search ,like video,audio,software etc.then Click G0.

From eMagics

It will list you all the files which matched your search criteria.You can right click and open folder to see
the files.

You can do CTRL+A and CTRL+V to copy all list and load it a to excel file and start sharing your friends,so they also don't have to
search everytime ,they can look into this and can get whatever is listed in it :)

From eMagics

This tool i found to be very useful.If you have ever used a better tool than this ,please add a comment about it.
Enjoy :) :) :-)
